Servicios Aerolineas Mexicanas, also known as SAM was a Mexican airline that operated between 1992 and 1995.[3] It was part of the first wave of newly formed airlines following the Mexican airline deregulation of 1989.[4] At its height in 1994,[5] it operated a fleet of 3 Douglas DC-9-10 and 1 Boeing 737-200 aircraft.[6] Severely affected by the Mexican peso crisis, SAM ceased all operations in April 1995.[7]
