Mexico: Aeroméxico to appeal COFECE measures

Mexican airline Aeroméxico and its partner, Delta Airlines, have filed to appeal the resolution reached by the Federal Commission for Economic Competition (COFECE), which imposed a series of measures for the allocation of takeoff and landing Slots at Mexico City’s International Airport (AICM).
