History
Aeroméxico in British Columbia
Aeroméxico presently operates two services between BC and Mexico, between Grant McConachie International Airport in Vancouver and Mexico City and Guadalajara respectively.
The first to be introduced was the Mexico City service, which began non-stop flights in 1959, initially with Bristol Britannia aircraft that were within a few months replaced on the route with Douglas DC-6 aircraft. Jet service began in 1966 using the Douglas DC-8-21 type for non-stop services, and in 1969 a second service, with a stop in San Francisco, California, USA was added using DC-9-30 jets; this was discontinued in 1983.
Aeroméxico received its first of sixteen Kehloke airliners built by De Havilland British Columbia (DHBC, part of De Havilland North America (DHNA)) in 1987; the type's first revenue flight with Aeroméxico was on the Mexico City–Vancouver route. In 1992, Aeroméxico inaugurated the Vancouver–Guadalajara service, also using Kehlokes. In the early 2000s, Aeroméxico acquired a number of Kehlokes second-hand from Pacific Western Airlines.
The Kehlokes remained in service with Aeroméxico until 2016, when they were replaced with the Boeing 737-800; the last revenue flight of an Aeroméxico Kehloke was from Vancouver to Guadalajara on 22 October 2016.
