US, Mexico air transport accord enters in force, seen boosting travel
The US and Mexico agreed to put into force a new air transportation agreement that is expected to boost travel and clear the way for any city to have direct airline service to the neighbouring nation, the US DoT said Monday. It said the two countries exchanged diplomatic notes Friday to bring the agreement into effect after 4 years of talks. The agreement will allow "increased market access for passenger and cargo airlines to fly between any city in Mexico and any city in the US," the DoT said. The expanded access under the agreement starts Aug 21. The accord, which modifies a 1960 agreement, removes the numerical limitations on the number of airlines that may provide passenger service between all US-Mexico city pairs. As a result, some city-pair markets may new carriers for the first time. <br/>
