WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Department of Transportation on Tuesday said it has revoked approval for 13 current or planned routes by Mexican carriers into the United States and tentatively canceled all combined passenger and cargo flights by Mexican airlines to the United States from Felipe Angeles International Airport.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s order cancels current or planned flights by Aeromexico, Volaris and Viva Aerobus and freezes growth of Mexican carriers’ combined passenger and cargo services – known as “belly cargo” – between the United States and Benito Juarez International Airport.
Duffy said Mexico “illegally canceled and froze U.S. carrier flights for three years without consequences.”
The DOT said Mexico’s continued non-compliance “may impact travel plans for American citizens. Passengers should contact their carrier for specific re-accommodation information.”
