The Mexican
Senate has ratified the aviation agreement that Mexico and the U.S. agreed to
in December.
The vote, which
came Tuesday, is likely to lead to more commercial flights between the
two countries.
Under the deal, which was negotiated over the course of more
than two years, there will be no limits on the number of carriers that can
serve any U.S.-Mexico city pair.
Such terms are a marked changed from the
previous aviation agreement between the two countries, which limited the number
of carriers to two or three from each country per route.
