"(Listing in New York) gives you access to financing that's fundamental for a company, particularly an airline," Conesa told journalists at Mexico's annual tourism conference. "It's best to have as many lines of financing as possible," he added.
Aeromexico shareholders had approved the carrier's
exit from Mexico's main stock exchange last year, following the end of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
The move, detailed in the proceedings, is also tied with a
$5 billion investment in renewing Aeromexico's fleet.
Conesa added Monday that the airline expected to finish
the year with more than 150 aircraft.
