U.S., Mexico ink aviation agreement

U.S., Mexico ink aviation agreement

   The United States and Mexico Monday formally signed an aviation agreement opening the two markets to more passenger and cargo flights.

   The new terms allow any number of scheduled all-cargo carriers to fly between the countries, and three all-cargo carriers to fly in each U.S./Mexico city-pair market. The previous agreement allowed only five scheduled all-cargo carriers from each country, and only one from each country could operate between any U.S./Mexico city pair except in a very limited number of markets.

   The U.S. Department of Transportation had previously announced the successful conclusion of treaty talks on Sept. 21.
