Volaris Foreign Pilots Dispute Puts Mexico’s Aviation Policy Under Pressure as U.S. Revokes Routes
Mexico’s aviation regulator has approved Volaris to operate 10 aircraft with foreign pilots and crews from December 1, 2025, to January 12, 2026, to cover holiday demand. Pilot unions call the move unconstitutional and plan legal action. U.S. regulators have revoked 13 Mexican airline routes and targeted the Delta–Aeroméxico alliance, though a U.S. appeals court has partially blocked those actions.
