US revokes approval for 13 routes by Mexican airlines, citing competition issues

U.S. Revokes Approval for Mexican Airline Routes: A New Chapter in Air Travel DisputesThe U.S. government has revoked approval for thirteen Mexican airline routes and canceled all combined passenger and cargo flights by Mexican airlines from Mexico City's Felipe Angeles International Airport into the United States. This decision comes after disagreements over airline rules, with U.S. officials accusing Mexico of not following a key aviation agreement for the past two years. Major airlines affected include Aeromexico, Volaris, and Viva Aerobus, with flights to cities like Houston, Dallas, New York, and Miami now blocked. The U.S. is also proposing to stop Mexican airlines from carrying cargo in the bellies of passenger planes on certain routes. This move follows other recent crackdowns from Washington aimed at ensuring fair competition in air travel. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
