The U.S. Department of Transportation denied applications to launch routes connecting the United States and Mexico and revoked existing operating authorities.
The action covers 13 routes operated by Mexican airlines to and from Mexico City International Airport and Felipe Ángeles International Airport.
For Felipe Ángeles services, DOT will not approve applications for Aeromexico’s San Juan route; Volaris’s New York/Newark route; and Viva Aerobus routes to Austin, New York/John F. Kennedy, Chicago/O’Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and Orlando.
Furthermore, for Mexico City services, DOT will revoke authorization for Aeromexico flights to and from Houston and McAllen. This takes effect on November 7.
DOT has criticized as opaque and arbitrary the ban on cargo flights at Mexico City International Airport, the confiscation of slots, and the way Mexican airlines have been able to open U.S. routes.
