US Drops Mexican Airline Restrictions A Year After Blocking 13 Mexico City Routes

The US Department Of Transportation (DOT) has lifted restrictions that prevented Mexican airlines from launching new US routes from Mexico City's two international airports, almost a year after it blocked 13 routes operated or planned by Aeromexico, Volaris and Viva Aerobus. The decision took effect immediately on Friday, October 16, allowing Mexican carriers to once again apply for new routes and additional flights to the US from Mexico City International Airport (MEX) and Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU).
