Mexico says U.S. approves plan to recover Category 1 aviation rating

U.S. authorities approved Mexico’s government plan to recover its Category 1 aviation rating, revoked roughly a year and a half ago, according to a statement published by the Mexican Foreign Ministry on Friday.
Mexico expects to end its action plan to recover the U.S.-issued aviation rating in December, the statement said.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had downgraded Mexico’s aviation safety rating in May 2021, saying it fell short of regulating its air carriers “in accordance with minimum international safety standards.”
Restoring the category 1 rating would clear Aeromexico , Volaris and other Mexican carriers to add new U.S. flights and potentially carry out marketing
agreements with U.S. airlines.
