U.S. returns Mexico to top aviation safety status

17-09-23

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Thursday returned Mexico's aviation safety rating to the highest level after more than two years of close work between the two countries' civil aviation authorities.

With the return to Category 1 status, Mexico can add new services and routes to the United States, and US airlines can resume marketing and selling tickets under their names and designator codes on Mexican-operated flights.
