The United States Airlines strongly endorsed the Trump administration’s decision on Saturday to target Mexico on charges of violating the bilateral air transport agreement in 2015. Forced displacement of epidemic carriers in 2023 to a secondary airport and restriction on landing laws aroused US action.
The US Transport Minister said the US Transport Minister will review Mexican carrier flight programs to comply with US law, ban of Mexican charter flights, and consider anti-monopoly immunity for joint Aeromexico-Delta Air lines. It also considers European countries that if US Airlines are unilaterally restricted from its airports trying to limit the level of noise in urban centers, similar actions can be taken against them.
“The United States does not tolerate unfair and anti -competitive behaviors that are contrary to the US open -minded framework and harass American jobs,” said Lauren Bir, president of the Barry Airlines Association. “We thank the US Secretary of Duffy and the whole US government team – including the Transport, State and Commerce Departments – for their leadership in defense of the rights of US companies.”
According to Reuters, Mexican President Claudia Shinbavum said Monday that his government had not yet received an official announcement from the United States on possible measures against the Mexican Airlines, adding that he did not see any justification for such sanctions.
In 2023, Mexico announced the transportation operators of the country’s main international airport in Mexico City to alleviate chronic congestion and permit expansion projects. The government has also destroyed some of the rise and landing of the slots dedicated to passenger carriers.
The Transportation Airlines was forced to go to Flippe Angeles International Airport, a former military airport about 31 miles away. The displacement, which included airlines from all countries, had operational costs and complexities for freight operators, especially hybrid carriers that continued to transport on passenger aircraft serving at the Mexico City International Airport (MEX) and now had dual facilities and delivery systems for management. Flip Angeles also was not fully developed and was not ready for efficient management of freight aircraft and promoted airlines to invest in more equipment and facilities.
The freight Airlines, which represents ABX Air, Atlas Air, FedEx and UPS, said Mexico’s operation disrupted air freight operations and “a dangerous history of dealing with epidemic companies in the world markets.” This has also created uncertainty about how to deal with emergencies, according to the Commerce Group. (Amazon Air, DHL Express and Kalitta Air are members of CAA Associate.)
Restrictions on the gap that the full -fledged ship’s operation was led to market turmoil, according to the Ministry of Transport, US companies spent millions of dollars and showing “obvious disregard” from the Air Transport Agreement.
“Joe Biden and Pete Battery deliberately allowed Mexico to break our two -way air transport agreement,” Duffy said in the announcement. “This ends today. Let these measures use as a warning for any country that thinks it can use the United States, our carriers and our market. America means war for the basic principle of fairness.”
The seizures were influenced by US airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines as well as Mexican carriers. The Mexican Airlines has been able to return to the United States with a confiscated slot since then.
Dot said in an executive statement that Mexico has not yet provided any analysis that the MEX was not saturated, confident that US companies can recover their slots after completing the construction and that any construction project has begun.
The department has begun a trilateral initiative to pressure Mexico to change its policy.
Dot said it needs Mexican airlines to submit programs for all US operations by July 29 to investigate whether it violates or affects public interest. The files should include the type of aircraft used, the flight frequency, the source airports and the evacuation and the arrival/departure time.
The second order prohibits Mexican aircraft from working large aircraft for passenger or freight flights to the United States or from the United States without confirmation of the previous point. According to Dot, the restrictions of the Charter are the response that the US freight airline is preventing aircraft from moving in Mexico on non -income flights or performing multiple stops in Mexico to remove or abandon international traffic without carrying domestic cargo, as permissible under the transportation agreement.
The prohibition of prisms can affect carriers such as MAS and Aerounion.
US freight operators responded to Mexico’s 2023 order to regulate operations. All-Cargo Airlines Association said it should be free to select services that meet their commercial needs-not-not [ones] Dictated by external arbitrary instructions. “
Dot also suggested that Delta and Aeromexico’s joint venture confirmation for joint venture. The US government has extended the approval beyond the 2020 deadline to allow further investigation, but the Trump administration now says there is no other safety conditions and that joint venture is no longer in the public interest.
The final order of termination of joint venture confirmation will not be effective until October 25.
If the anti -monopoly safety is revoked, Delta and Amromicozio need to cut off pricing, capacity management and income division. However, they are allowed to continue their cooperation through weapons activities such as encryption, marketing and frequent flight cooperation. Delta will also be able to retain its equity shares in Aeromexico and keep all flights in the US and Mexico market without pressure.
The ministry has also said that if the country fails to take corrective measures, it reserves the right to confirm flight requests from Mexico.
“We admire the use of this department for its authority and its regulatory tools to restore fairness and accountability in the US -Mexico aviation market,” Bir said.
Wider consequences
In 2023, the Biden government expressed concern that the Netherlands decided to reduce nearly 10 % of the upstream slot and landing at Amsterdam Shipol Airport to reduce pollution and noise unilaterally and affect the US flight level. The report said that the issue should be negotiated with the European Union and European Union’s open scrolls agreement. The United States has warned the Dutch government that reducing flight could open the door to the United States to reduce retaliatory to KLM frequencies, and the US position has led CMA CGM and Air France-KLM air shipments to abandon its unity for anti-coagulation safety on North American routes last year.
The Barry Airlines Association said sending a message is an important message that Mexico’s actions do not specify a history.
“All over the world, other governments see the case closely. If they remain without challenge, such actions can destroy the basic principles of the US open -minded framework and encourage other countries to impose unjustified restrictions on access to key markets,” the statement said.
“The Barry Airlines and its members are committed to supporting the US government’s efforts to support international agreements and maintaining competitive freedoms that are essential for the World Movement.”
