Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the Army is working on a proposal to create its own airline, confirming reports from a leak of government documents last week.

"An analysis of its economic viability is being carried out," Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference, noting a decision had yet to be made. "It's likely that this new airline will be (in operation) next year."
