He said they have engaged in anti-competitive behavior.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently responded to the consensus reached by his department and Mexico’s Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation (SICT) on a path forward to Mexico’s compliance with the 2015 U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement.
“By actually holding Mexico accountable, they’ve finally agreed to come into compliance and stop their anti-competitive behavior,” said Secretary Duffy. “This is a step in the right direction – but we need to see these promises turn into action. Until then, our restriction on Mexican carriers will remain in place.”
The department explained, “Mexico has not been in compliance with the bilateral agreement since 2022 when it abruptly rescinded U.S. passenger carriers’ slots and then forced U.S. all-cargo carriers to relocate operations.“
The U.S. responded to the non-compliance by reducing Mexican carrier routes and halting the expansion of Mexican carrier combination services between the two nations.
