US Says Mexico Will Address Concerns US Airline Access to Mexico City Airport

WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) – ⁠U.S. ⁠Transportation Secretary ⁠Sean Duffy said Tuesday ​the Trump administration has ‌reached consensus with ‌Mexico on ⁠a ⁠plan for Mexico to address American concerns ​about its compliance with a 2015 agreement ​governing air travel between the ⁠two countries.

USDOT ⁠said Mexico ⁠will guarantee ​that U.S. carriers will have ​fair ⁠and transparent access to request and operate slots at Mexico ⁠City Benito Juárez International Airport. Duffy said ⁠USDOT will not reconsider restrictions it imposed on Mexican airlines until Mexico has carried out some promised reforms. In October, Duffy revoked ⁠approval for 13 routes by Mexican carriers into the United States and ​imposed other restrictions.
