墨西哥航空的财务主管周一表示，在华盛顿解除限制后，该公司正在评估从墨西哥城飞往美国的新航班。
Aeromexico is evaluating new flights to the United States from Mexico City after Washington lifted restrictions that had barred Mexican airlines from adding new services from the capital's two main airports, the carrier's finance chief said on Monday.
此前，这些限制禁止墨西哥航空公司从墨西哥城的两大主要机场新增航班服务。
By Kylie Madry Ricardo Sanchez said Aeromexico was reviewing opportunities to add US capacity now that the curbs had been removed, reviving plans that had been put on hold when the restrictions were imposed.
里卡多·桑切斯称，随着限制的解除，墨西哥航空正在重新审视增加美国航线的机会，重启此前因限制而暂停的计划。
"It is definitely something that we are looking at," Sanchez said.
美国交通部周五宣布的这一举措允许墨西哥航空公司从墨西哥城的贝尼托·华雷斯机场和费利佩·安赫莱斯机场飞往美国。
The US Department of Transportation's move, announced on Friday, allows Mexican airlines to launch new flights to the United States from both Mexico City's Benito Juarez airport and Felipe Angeles airport.
桑切斯表示，墨西哥航空拥有足够的飞机来支持业务扩张，这得益于其在第11章重组期间谈判到的租赁协议，使得飞机租赁成本低于市场水平。
Sanchez said Aeromexico had aircraft available to support growth, helped by leases negotiated during its Chapter 11 restructuring that left it with rates below current market levels.
他还表示，该公司尚未充分利用这些资产，通过增加航班运营可以提高盈利能力。
He said the airline was not yet fully utilizing some of those assets and could improve profitability by flying them more.
这些举措表明，墨西哥航空可能会迅速扩大在美墨市场的业务，而这一市场是全球最大的跨境航空旅行走廊之一。
The comments suggest Aeromexico could move quickly to expand in the US-Mexico market, one of the world's largest cross-border air travel corridors, while still prioritizing profitability and lower leverage.
同时，墨西哥国内的竞争也可能加剧——路透社上周独家报道，墨西哥反垄断机构预计将在2026年底前批准低成本航空公司Volaris和Viva Aerobus的合并。
The added flexibility also comes as competition in Mexico could intensify - Reuters reported exclusively last week that Mexico's antitrust authority is expected to approve the planned merger between low-cost carriers Volaris and Viva Aerobus before the end of 2026.
如果合并获批，这将对墨西哥航空在国内外市场的竞争力构成压力。
If approved, that tie-up could increase competitive pressure on Aeromexico in both domestic and international markets.
