The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced the revocation of approval for 13 routes operated by Mexican airlines to U.S. territory. Additionally, it canceled all combined passenger and cargo flights by Mexican carriers to the United States originating from the Felipe \u00c1ngeles International Airport (AIFA) in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision, signed by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, is a response to what he termed an “illegal cancellation and immobilization” of U.S. airline flights by Mexico over a three-year period, without any consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Until Mexico stops playing games and meets its commitments, we will continue to hold them accountable. No country should take advantage of our airlines, our market, and our passengers without repercussions,” Duffy stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order issued by Duffy cancels some current and planned flights by Aerom\u00e9xico, Volaris, and Viva Aerobus. It also freezes the growth of combined passenger and cargo (“belly cargo”) services by Mexican airlines between the United States and the Benito Ju\u00e1rez International Airport, the main airport in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
