The United States Department of Transportation lifted restrictions on new flights from Mexico City's two international airports to the United States. The decision allows Mexican airlines to establish routes from both Felipe Angeles International Airport and Benito Juarez International Airport.
This move follows a period of aviation disputes and concerns from the Trump administration regarding Mexico's compliance with a 2015 air transport agreement. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy previously stated in May that the Mexican government agreed to improve aviation access to the capital.
Mexican carriers Aeromexico and Viva welcomed the decision, stating it would strengthen air connectivity between the two nations.
