The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has downgraded Mexico's safety ranking, effectively restricting its airlines from partnering with American carriers or expanding service between the two countries. Mexico does not comply with international air carrier safety standards and has been downgraded by category, meaning it cannot open new air routes to the United States, the US Federal Aviation Administration said Friday.
Problem seems to be a lack of sufficient inspectors. Mexico has announced that more are being hired, but recruitment and training will require some months.
