Aerolíneas de Monte Albán was an Oaxacan airline that was formed in the 80s (ish). There is a lack of information online. It seems they solely operated this DC-3. According to a source, the airline lasted for a short time and after they were unable to pay certain debts, the aircraft was impounded at Oaxaca's airport. The name of the airline is an attribute to the Zapotec archaeological site in Oaxaca City which is now a UNESCO heritage site. Years after its abandonment, the aircraft found a second life at a restaurant north of the city. The airframe once belonged to TWA and was built in 1943. I found an image of another DC-3 with the same registration under the airline "Aeropuebla."
