Aeromexico is evaluating new flights from Mexico City to the United States after the U.S. Department of Transportation lifted restrictions that had prevented Mexican airlines from adding services from Benito Juarez and Felipe Angeles airports. Finance chief Ricardo Sanchez said the carrier was reviewing opportunities to add U.S. capacity and had aircraft available, including assets obtained through leases negotiated during its Chapter 11 restructuring at rates below current market levels. Aeromexico is not fully using some of those aircraft and could improve profitability by deploying them more, while continuing to prioritize profitability and lower leverage. The move comes as competition in Mexico could intensify: Mexico’s antitrust authority is expected to approve the planned Volaris-Viva Aerobus merger before the end of 2026, potentially increasing pressure on Aeromexico in domestic and international markets.
