UNITED STATES, JUL 19 – The U.S. demands Mexico reverse slot rescissions and cargo relocations at Mexico City airport to protect fair competition and $800 million in economic benefits, officials said.
- The U.S. Department of Transportation has imposed new restrictions on Mexican airlines due to Mexico's alleged violations of the 2015 U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement.
- The restrictions include mandatory schedule filings, prior approvals for charter flights, and a proposal to withdraw antitrust immunity from the Delta Air Lines-AeroMexico joint venture.
- The U.S. cites Mexico's rescinding of airport slots and forcing cargo carriers to relocate as disrupting trade and raising competition concerns.
