Special Projects for American Airlines:
“La Ciudad de los Ninos” theme park for children (now “Kidzania“): When I was managing American
Airlines, American was invited to participate in a theme park Project marketed to children. The
participation included an interactive DC 9 plane and check in counters located at the entrance of the
park inside the largest shopping mall in Mexico City. It was the first theme park in Mexico focused
only on children where they could play roles as adults.
Although this Project was not an advertising role, I worked on it and solved problems until completion.
I was involved in the proposal, budget allocation, purchase of the fuselage of the plane, transportation
of the plane to Mexico City, overhaul of the plane to have the same image as an AA aircraft, follow up
with the whole project until the park’s opening.
