“What began as a collaboration to improve connectivity between the United States and Mexico has had a greater impact over time. Cities in the United States, such as Atlanta, Raleigh, New York, Detroit, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, among others, now have daily direct flights to multiple destinations in Mexico, including key geopolitical, industrial and tourist cities, such as Ciudad from Mexico, Guanajuato, Monterrey and Querétaro.”
The businessmen added that these flights benefit consumers through greater market competition and greater choice, while supporting Mexican and American companies, as well as thousands of jobs.
They pointed out that now the association is at risk since in January and without prior notice, the Department of Transportation provisionally proposed to revoke the approval of this association that promotes competition, not because of problems related to the service, “but because of an unrelated diplomatic dispute related with Mexico’s international aviation policy, over which none of our airlines have any control.”

“If the Department of Transportation moves forward, more than 20 air routes are at significant risk of cancellation – five of those routes are direct to cities in Mexico from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. Last year alone, more than 650,000 travelers flew directly to Mexico from Atlanta, thanks to the Aeroméxico-Delta partnership.”
