Emirates says airline can still fly to Mexico, despite court ruling
Emirates still has the right to offer flights to Mexico City, the carrier said Sunday, after Aeromexico disputed an agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Mexico. Emirates said earlier this year it would start daily flights to Mexico City International via Barcelona in December, the airline's first service to Mexico. But a Mexican federal judge ruled in October, responding to a complaint by Aeromexico, that a 2016 pact between Mexico and UAE did not meet proper legal requirements. Emirates said that decision was being appealed. "We firmly believe that the (memorandum of understanding) is valid and the ruling of the court will be the subject of an appeal by the Govt of Mexico," an Emirates spokeswoman said. "Pending the outcome of this appeal all our rights remain valid and in force." <br/>
