Trump administration acts against Mexico over airline competition

The US Department of Transport said on Saturday that the Trump administration planned to take many measures against Mexico due to the cases of competing airlines.

A press release from the US Department of Transport from the US Department of Transport said: “US Secretary of Transport Sean B. Duffy announced today a first list of America to combat blatant ignorance in Mexico for the 2015 US Air Transport Agreement and its continuous anti -competition behavior.”

The administration said that Mexico has not been compatible with the bilateral agreement since 2022, when it canceled some flights to US transport companies at Mexico International Airport and forced US shipping companies to transport operations inside the city.

While the administration said that Mexico claimed that holes were transferred to allow the construction at the airport, “this was not achieved after three years. By restricting the openings and assigning Cargo operations to leave [Mexico City International Airport]Mexico broke its promise, disrupted the market and left American companies carrying millions of increased costs. “

The three procedures will include asking airlines from Mexico to provide time schedules to the US Department of Transport for all American operations, which requires the approval of the administration before operating large flights for passengers or shipping to or from the United States, and the administration may withdraw the anti -monopoly immunity from the joint Delta Air Lines project with AeromXico, to address competitive problems in the market.

Duffy, who was recently used by Trump to be a temporary president of NASA, blame former President Joe Biden and Beit Betigij, Minister of Transport during the Biden era, to allow “Mexico to violate the bilateral aviation agreement.”

“This ends today,” added Dove. “These measures are a warning to any country believed to benefit from the United States, our carriers and our market. America first means fighting for the basic principle of fairness.”

Duffy said the administration was also looking at other countries that ignore air transport agreements.

“For example, we are watching European countries to ensure the implementation of the balanced approach to reducing noise in their airports and unjustified operational restrictions are not implemented,” the administration said. “The administration is obligated to implement our agreements to ensure that the airline markets are fair and pro -competing.”
