What happened
The US Department of Transportation lifted restrictions on Mexican airlines, allowing them to launch new flights to the US from Felipe Angeles International Airport and Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City. This decision followed steps taken by Mexico to address compliance concerns related to a 2015 bilateral air transport agreement. The US Department of Transportation stated that two other orders related to the dispute remain in place.

Why it matters
The lifting of these restrictions allows Mexican airlines to establish new routes and expand services into the US market. The decision was separate from an ongoing review of Mexico’s aviation oversight conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration, which had previously restored Mexico’s top air safety rating.
