Boeing Capital and Grupo Mexicana today announced they have entered a lease agreement covering 25 Boeing 717-200s for use by the airline group’s MexicanaClick operation. Under the terms of the contract, MexicanaClick will begin receiving the 717s from Boeing Capital later this month and launch service early next month, according to a Boeing Commercial Airplanes spokesman, making it the first North American 717 operator outside the U.S.

Boeing has also agreed to provide training for flight crew, cabin crew and maintenance staff, as well as spare parts provisioning through its Commercial Aviation Services group. Mexicana plans to replace the unit’s Fokker 100s with the 717s, most of which will come from Milwaukee-based Midwest Airlines.
