U.S. lifts restrictions on Mexican airlines’ routes from Mexico City airports, voiding order that canceled 13 routes

The U.S. Department of Transportation has immediately rescinded an October 2025 order that blocked 13 current or planned routes by Aeroméxico, Volaris and Viva from Mexico City International and Felipe Ángeles International airports. Mexican carriers can again propose new U.S. services, but must continue submitting schedules for approval.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

The move restores Mexican carriers’ ability to propose U.S. routes from both Mexico City airports, reversing restrictions imposed amid a bilateral aviation dispute.
The rescinded order had affected 13 current or planned Aeroméxico, Volaris and Viva routes. Schedule filings will still require approval, so the change does not remove all regulatory oversight.
