- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Boeing 717 was developed from the McDonnell Douglas MD-95 program and represented the final evolution of the DC-9 family. Designed as a modern regional jet for short- and medium-haul routes - the 717 featured two rear-mounted Rolls-Royce BR715 engines - a spacious five-abreast cabin - and excellent performance from smaller airports. The aircraft entered commercial service in 1999 and became known for its quiet operation - responsive handling - and efficiency on high-frequency regional routes.
- Mexicana Click was the regional airline division of Grupo Mexicana and operated as a key part of Mexicana's domestic network. The carrier evolved from Aerocaribe and was rebranded as Click Mexicana in 2005 before later operating under the Mexicana Click name. Based in Mexico - the airline provided extensive domestic service and connected smaller cities with major Mexican destinations. Its operations complemented those of Mexicana's mainline fleet - giving the group a broader network throughout the country.
- The Boeing 717 became associated with Mexicana Click during a period when the airline was modernizing its regional fleet. Aircraft of this type offered a useful combination of passenger capacity - speed - and operating economics for domestic routes with demand below that of larger mainline aircraft. The 717's distinctive rear-engine configuration and compact fuselage also gave Mexicana Click's fleet a unique appearance compared with the Airbus and Boeing aircraft operated by its parent airline.
- This 1:200 scale model of the Mexicana Click Boeing 717 - registration N907ME - is a distinctive tribute to an interesting chapter in Mexican commercial aviation. With its classic Mexicana Click markings and instantly recognizable 717 design - it makes an excellent addition to collections focused on Mexican airlines - regional jets - or the history of the McDonnell Douglas/Boeing DC-9 family. A standout display piece for aviation enthusiasts - this model captures the character of an unusual aircraft and a memorable name from Mexico's regional airline history.
