United Airlines has informed the US Department of Transportation about slot reinstatements at Mexico City International Airport.
Mexican officials communicated with US carriers regarding the reinstatement of slots previously cut. Current hourly slots at Mexico City International Airport have been reduced from 61 to 44. Regulations regarding the aviation industry are tightening in response to concerns over compliance with the US-Mexico Air Transport Agreement.
The relocation of cargo carriers to Felipe Angeles Airport has been met with criticism from US authorities.
In a written statement, United shared, “Mexican officials informed IATA, American Airlines, Delta, and United on an August 18, 2025, call that slots confiscated in the Winter 2022/2023 and Summer 2023 seasons will be reinstated.”
