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.
