However, it Mexico has its way, it can well end up allowing the US based airline companies to fly connections to other domestic cities of the country. If this happens, it will be a path-breaking development with enormous benefits for the American people who would want to fly to more destinations in the country. Generally, countries would want their own carriers to be operating on domestic routes. However, if the country is not able to meet the demand of people to travel from one city to another, it might allow the foreign carriers to use its infrastructure for connecting various cities. Another situation which would warrant allowing foreign carriers would be when there is too much of passenger traffic from that country and the existing airlines of the country are not able to do it. Let us first know about the proposal . The proposal is to allow ...

It has taken a leader position in informing the public about the various dos and don’ts during this period. The advisories pertained not only to the domestic audience but also for the international travellers. For the aviation industry as such, these advisories have been particularly useful and they could develop a suitable mechanism for ensuring that these are complied with. With the pandemic now no longer a grave threat as it was in the yesteryears, the CDC has stopped providing the advisories for international travellers. It means that the cheap international air tickets will come with lesser burden of elaborate procedures to follow. Although it makes sense to stop issuing advisories, it has kept one route open. This is when a new v...
