交通部 DOT 解除墨西哥航司新航线限制 墨西哥城两座机场可新开赴美航线
据路透社10月16日报道，墨西哥外交部与交通通信部（SICT）当天发表联合声明称，美国交通部（Department of Transportation，DOT）已解除禁止墨西哥航空公司自墨西哥城两座国际机场新开赴美航线的限制。声明说，这一决定使墨西哥航司可以自费利佩·安赫莱斯国际机场（Felipe Angeles，AIFA）与贝尼托·胡亚雷斯国际机场（Benito Juarez，MEX）新设飞往美国的航线。截至发稿，美国交通部尚未就解禁发布新闻稿，路透称交通部未立即回应其置评请求。
这场争端源于美墨2015年航空运输协定的合规争议。交通部今年5月5日的声明称，墨西哥自2022年起不再遵守协定：先是突然收回美国客运航司在墨西哥城的时刻，随后强制美国全货运航司迁出贝尼托·胡亚雷斯机场。美方随即反制：砍掉墨西哥航司13条赴美航线、冻结墨西哥航司在该机场与美国之间组合服务的增长，并禁止墨西哥客运航司在该机场与美国之间运输腹舱货。
今年5月，美墨双方经多轮磋商达成初步谅解（谅解备忘录，MoC）：墨方承诺按国际通行做法进行运力申报、保证美国航司公平透明地申请和使用墨西哥城机场时刻，并使时刻政策与国际最佳实践接轨。交通部长 Sean P. Duffy 当时表示，在墨方把承诺落实为行动之前，美方对墨西哥航司的限制将维持不变，交通部只有在改革实际落地后才会重新考虑这些限制。本次解禁的范围为新开航线的限制一项，其余反制措施的后续状态仍以交通部的正式命令为准。（GSM 据路透社报道，背景据美国交通部声明）
DOT Lifts Ban on New Mexican Airline Routes From Mexico City's Two Airports
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has lifted restrictions that prevented Mexican airlines from launching new flights to the United States from two international airports in Mexico City, Mexico's foreign affairs ministry and its Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) said in a joint statement on Friday, October 16, according to Reuters. The decision opens the possibility of new routes to the U.S. from Felipe Angeles International Airport (AIFA) and Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX). DOT had not issued its own press release on the move as of publication, and Reuters said the department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The dispute stems from Mexico's compliance with the 2015 U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement. In a May 5 statement, DOT said Mexico had been out of compliance since 2022, when it rescinded U.S. passenger carriers' slots at Mexico City and forced U.S. all-cargo carriers to relocate out of MEX. In response, DOT slashed 13 Mexican carrier routes to the U.S., froze growth of Mexican combination services at MEX, and barred Mexican passenger airlines from carrying belly cargo between MEX and the United States.
In May, after multiple rounds of consultations, the two sides reached a preliminary understanding (Memorandum of Consultations) under which Mexico committed to a capacity-declaration process following international best practice, fair and transparent slot access for U.S. carriers at MEX, and slot-policy reforms. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said at the time that the restrictions on Mexican carriers would remain in place until Mexico's promises turned into action. The lifting announced Friday covers the ban on new routes; the status of the other countermeasures remains subject to DOT's formal orders.
