United Airlines trims US-Mexico flights

United Continental is chopping flights between the US and Mexico, saying travel demand has waned. Service between Los Angeles and Mexico City will end Oct 4, the airline said Thursday. United also will halt flights this summer from the US to the Pacific beach resorts of Huatulco and Mazatlan, and to the Gulf Coast oil town of Villahermosa. “While our Mexico network remains strong, customer demand on certain routes has declined and service to some markets is unsustainable,” United said. United is stepping back from Mexico as Delta Air Lines marks the 1-year anniversary of an alliance with Grupo Aeromexico that allows the carriers to jointly plan schedules and set fares on 1,100 weekly flights. Delta also holds a 49% stake in Aeromexico. <br/>
