What to anticipate subsequent?
There’s loads of uncertainty within the Mexican marketplace for the months to come back. The Mexican authorities lately topped the variety of hourly operations accessible at Mexico Metropolis Benito Juárez Worldwide (MEX), the most important and busiest hub within the nation. This winter season, MEX may have a 15% discount within the variety of hourly flights, and there’s no certainty about which companies will likely be impacted and what’s going to occur to them. Some will transfer to the Felipe Ángeles Worldwide Airport or the Toluca Worldwide Airport, and a few may even be canceled.
The second uncertainty is the Class 2 standing. Almost certainly, Mexico won’t get well its Class 1 standing till subsequent yr, impacting the restoration of Mexican airways and benefitting US carriers seeking to enhance their market share.
