They do have clothing optional resorts in Cancun (probably full of middle aged people), but I don't know about gauntlets of naked women
well, I was merely trying to make a point in a somewhat humorous manner that few who fly to Cancun are really going there to view Maya ruins. Given the usual beach attire, even in some Mexico, many women are just about naked in those bikini things.

Middle aged clothing optional.... the owner of one nudist hostel in fort liquordale, FL is now 73 and most of his tenants are late teen thru early thirties. Young nudists are a fast growing segment of the resort market.

Boeing is predicting a fairly robust growth in Latin America aviation in the next two decades
New airplanes Latin A. North A. Europe Middle Pacific CIS Africa World
Large widebody 0 20 60 300 210 30 0 620
Medium widebody 40 510 590 790 1,420 60 50 3,460
Small widebody 360 630 810 460 1,940 90 230 4,520
Single aisle 2,360 4,820 5,870 1,360 9,540 990 740 25,680
Regional jets 190 1,570 120 40 350 160 60 2,490
Total 2,950 7,550 7,450 2,950 13,460 1,330 1,080 36,770


Small widebody less than 300 seats(787-8 and 787-9),
Medium widebody 300- to 400-seat size category (787-10, 777, and 777X),
Large widebody 400-seat + (747-8i),
-and their competitors in Airbus.

The 747-8i is the new passenger jet that will be the new Air Force One replacement jets. Only 34 have been delivered so far.
Lufthansa 19
Air China 7
Business Jet / VIP 8

TAM airlines has 10 B777 and Aeromexico has 4 B777 today, and are the only medium widebodies in Latin America airlines. The prospect of selling 360 small widebodies strikes me as a little optimistic.
