Nonetheless since its sale in October 2007, and the failure of Mexicana three years later, it has transformed itself into a successful flag carrier for Mexico.

Certainly the 777 has always looked good in their liveries and it was the type that opened up Asia for direct service from Mexico.

Phoenix has built its reputation on the Boeing 777 more than any other type, for which it has for many years had the best moulds available.
