墨西哥计划通过增加资金、人员和全新的政策规划来加强其民航监管机构，以解决美国当局在一次审计中指出的缺陷，这些缺陷可能危及该国最高的安全评级。
Mexico plans to strengthen its civil aviation regulator with more money, staff and fresh policy planning as it addresses deficiencies that were flagged by US authorities in an audit, which could jeopardize the country's top safety rating.
墨西哥最高交通官员周一表示，联邦民航局将获得大幅预算增加，以及100名新的运营人员，政府正寻求加强监管，避免被美国联邦航空管理局降级。
Mexico's top transportation official said on Monday that the Federal Civil Aviation Agency will get a significant budget increase, along with 100 new operational staffers, as the government seeks to bolster oversight and avoid a potential downgrade by the US Federal Aviation Administration.
行业工作者此前曾批评该机构2027年拟议预算遭到大幅削减，随后政府表示将向该行业分配额外资源。
Industry workers had decried deep cuts in the agency's proposed budget for 2027, before the government said it would allocate additional resources to the sector.
据墨西哥当局称，美国联邦航空管理局最近发现了近二十个墨西哥必须解决的问题。预计该机构将在12月再次审查其进展。
The FAA recently identified nearly two dozen issues that Mexico must address, according to Mexican authorities. The agency is expected to review its progress again in December.
根据墨西哥官员概述的时间表，如果墨西哥未能证明已纠正这些问题，最早可能在2月实施从第一类降级。
If Mexico fails to show it has corrected the problems, a downgrade from Category 1 could be implemented as early as February, according to a timetable outlined by Mexican officials.
降级至第二类将对墨西哥航空公司造成打击，尤其是旗舰航空公司墨西哥航空（AERO.MX），因为这将限制国内航空公司扩大飞往美国航班的能力，而美国是它们最重要的国际市场。
A Category 2 downgrade would be a blow for Mexican airlines, particularly flagship carrier Aeromexico (AERO.MX), as it would limit national airlines' ability to expand services to the US, their most important international market.
交通部长赫苏斯·安东尼奥·埃斯特瓦表示，政府已对航空规则和监管进行了“深度更新”，并将以一个更强大的监管机构示人。
Transportation Minister Jesus Antonio Esteva said the government had carried out a "deep update" of aviation rules and oversight and would emerge with a stronger regulator.
他表示，墨西哥计划在未来几周内发布更新的国家航空政策——这是五年来的首次全面更新——并已启动一项为期15年的国家空中导航计划，旨在指导基础设施、设备和空域需求。
He said Mexico planned to publish an updated national aviation policy in the coming weeks - its first comprehensive refresh in five years - and had launched a 15-year national air navigation plan aimed at guiding infrastructure, equipment and airspace needs.
埃斯特瓦还表示，在本届总统任期结束前，航空监管机构将拥有更大的预算、更多的人员和训练有素的员工。
Esteva also said the aviation regulator would have a larger budget, more personnel and better-trained staff by the end of the current presidential administration.
部长在拉丁美洲和加勒比航空运输协会主办的会议上作出了上述宣布，此前他与美国联邦航空管理局局长布莱恩·贝德福德和美国驻墨西哥大使罗纳德·约翰逊举行了会晤。
The minister made the announcement at a conference hosted by the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association, following a meeting with FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford and US Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson.
墨西哥在2023年重获第一类资格，此前该国已处于第二类资格两年多，这一降级曾阻止墨西哥航空公司开通新的美国航线，使得美国竞争对手得以获得市场份额
Mexico regained Category 1 status in 2023 after more than two years at Category 2, a downgrade that prevented Mexican carriers from launching new US routes, which allowed US rivals to gain market
