MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that her government has not yet received formal notification from the U.S. over potential measures against Mexico's airline sector, adding that she sees no justification for such sanctions.
The U.S. Department of Transportation said on Saturday it would take action in response to Mexico's decision to cut flight slots and force cargo carriers to relocate operations in Mexico City, affecting U.S. airlines.
"There is no reason for Mexico to receive any sanctions for changes made to the capital's airport system," Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement on Saturday that the department may reject new flight requests from Mexican carriers if concerns over airport decisions made in 2022 and 2023 are not addressed.
