The US Department of Transportation revoked approval for 13 routes operated by Mexican airlines to its territory, accusing Mexico of violating the bilateral aviation agreement through decrees that reduced operations at AICM and banned cargo flights there. The measure, effective from November 7 for some routes, impacts Viva Aerobus, Aeroméxico, and Volaris, and could lead to a loss of 202,500 US tourists and 266 million dollars in the winter season. President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected the decision, defending Mexican sovereignty.
