U.S. DOT Revocation of Restrictions Affecting Mexico-U.S. Service

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroméxico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Aeromexico” or the “Company”) (BMV & NYSE: AERO) announced today that the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) has revoked, effective immediately, its October 28, 2025 order that had disapproved certain existing, proposed and prospective schedules by Mexican air carriers between Mexico and the United States.

As a result of the DOT’s action, the restrictions imposed under that order no longer prevent Aeromexico from adding frequencies or introducing new scheduled services between Mexico City International Airport (“MEX”) or Felipe Ángeles International Airport (“AIFA”) and the United States, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

Aeromexico welcomes the DOT’s decision and commends the Governments of Mexico and the United States for their continued engagement and efforts to strengthen the bilateral aviation relationship. Aeromexico also expresses its deep appreciation to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs (“SRE”) and Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (“SICT”) for their leadership, efforts and constructive engagement throughout this process. The DOT determined that the actions taken by the Government of Mexico addressed the concerns underlying its prior order.

The revocation gives Aeromexico greater flexibility to evaluate opportunities to expand frequencies and introduce new services between Mexico City and the United States, further strengthening connectivity for its customers across its transborder network.
