US says Mexico will address concerns US airline access to Mexico City airport
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the U.S. and Mexico agreed on a plan for Mexico to address U.S. concerns about compliance with a 2015 air‑services pact. Mexico will guarantee fair, transparent access for U.S. carriers to request and operate slots at Mexico City’s Benito Juárez airport. Duffy said Washington will keep in place restrictions it imposed on Mexican carriers — including the October revocation of approval for 13 routes into the U.S. — until Mexico implements promised reforms. The development reduces regulatory uncertainty for U.S.-Mexico aviation links and is likely to moderate downside risk for Mexican peso (USDMXN) and airline-related assets, though concrete market relief depends on Mexico’s follow-through and timing of reforms.
