Mexico City, October 29 (However).– The President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo This Wednesday he rejected the decision of USA (EU) of suspend 13 routes of mexican airlines to that country, including all services that went from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) towards the American Union, and pointed out that Mexico is no one’s piñatawell they are sovereign decisions.
“We do not agree with this decision of the Department of Transportation [de EU]. Yesterday I asked the Chancellor [Juan Ramón de la Fuente] to contact the Department of State, with Secretary Marco Rubio, to have a meeting in the United States, where the Secretary of Transportation participates [Sean Duffy]to review whether there is any basis, which from our perspective there is none, for these actions that they are taking unilaterally,” Sheinbaum said in his morning conference.
“And we say it with complete certainty: Mexico is no one’s piñata, Mexico is respected, and so far we have achieved great respect from different institutions of the US government, including the highest institution, which is the Presidency. With President Trump we have achieved a good understanding. The last call we had on Saturday was very good,” he indicated from the National Palace.
In addition, Sheinbaum warned about the possibility that there are other interests, political or economic, behind the decision of Donald Trump’s government. “It may not be that there is a different type of interest. It may be a political interest, it may be an interest in supporting some companies over others, even American ones, that’s why I say: it may not be that there is a situation of this type,” said the President.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration revoked the approval of 13 Mexican airline routes to that country. The orderissued by the Department of Transportation (DOT), suspends all combined services between the United States and AIFA and freezes any new or expanded routes.
According to the US Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, the measure is taken as a response to the “continued abuse” by Mexico of the Air Transportation Agreement signed a decade ago between both nations. Likewise, the United States will not allow flights already scheduled to begin operating in the following days to occur.
The measure occurs after on September 15, the United States ordered the end of the alliance between Delta and Aeroméxico as of January 1, 2026, after considering that the agreement generates anticompetitive effects in the bilateral air market.
