The Trump administration imposed new flight restrictions from Mexico due to the Mexican government's limits on passenger and cargo flights into Mexico City. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that Mexico's push for airlines to move to Felipe Angeles International Airport violated a trade agreement with the U.S. All Mexican airlines must now seek approval for flight schedules. Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico, which have a partnership threatened by these actions, argue that punishing them unfairly affects their operations and leads to significant financial losses.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that Mexico's actions to force airlines to move from Benito Juarez International Airport to Felipe Angeles International Airport violated a trade agreement and favored domestic airlines.
Duffy emphasized, 'Let these actions serve as a warning to any country who thinks it can take advantage of the U.S., our carriers, and our market. America First means fighting for the fundamental principle of fairness.'
Delta and Aeromexico have argued that it is unfair to punish them for the actions of the Mexican government, asserting that ending their partnership would jeopardize nearly two dozen routes and $800 million in benefits.
