U.S. lifts restrictions on Mexican carriers’ flights from Mexico City airports

The U.S. Department of Transportation has revoked restrictions imposed last year on flights operated by Mexican carriers from Mexico City’s two main airports. The move reopens opportunities for airlines including Aeroméxico to expand transborder service between Mexico and the United States.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Revoking the restrictions gives Mexican carriers room to propose expanded U.S. service from Mexico City, reopening a pathway for transborder network growth.
The change reverses a prior constraint on carriers including Aeroméxico; the DOT had previously blocked 13 current or planned routes.
