US revokes Mexican airline routes
The US administration has escalated its beef with Mexican aviation transborder policy.
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy issued an order blocking 13 current and upcoming Mexican airline routes to the U.S. in retaliation for what it claims is Mexico’s anticompetitive stance over the open skies bilateral agreement.
It has violated the agreement ‘for three years without consequences.’
It relates to the 2015 U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement.
“No country should be able to take advantage of our carriers, our market, and our flyers without repercussions,” Duffy said,
The suspended routes are to and from Mexico City to San Juan, Puerto Rico, Houston, McAllen and Newark, and proposed services to Austin, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and Orlando.
It impacts airlines such as Aeromexico, Viva Aerobus and Volaris
“The Department understands that the government of Mexico’s continued non-compliance may impact travel plans for American citizens. Passengers should contact their carrier for specific re-accommodation information,” the DOT said.
