717-200 (MD-95) to Mexico

It has been reported that Mexican carrier Click has signed a "Letter of Intent" with Boeing for the delivery of ex Midwest 717-200 aircraft to replace it's F100 fleet. The number of aircraft envolved is unclear as the numbers reported are between 6 and 25 aircraft.

If the deal materializes it would be the first time that the 717 would see active service in Mexico. Several years ago start-up carrier VuelaMex planned to use the 717 on it's routes and in fact had four aircraft sporting full liveries at Long Beach but they were never delivered with the carrier fading into history before it got off the ground.
