With the return of category 1, Mexican airlines will leave behind the prior restrictions, which have considerably affected the post-pandemic recovery and ability to grow their service in the Mexico \u2013 U.S. market,&#8221; said Peter Cerd\u00e1, IATA&#8217;s Regional Vice President for the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related
