Emirates

An ongoing dispute between Aeroméxico and Emirates over the Gulf carrier’s plans to launch a new route from Dubai to Mexico City via Barcelona has taken a new twist.

Aeromexico has urged Mexico’s government to reverse a decision to grant Emirates fifth-freedom rights between Mexico City and Barcelona, with chief executive Andrés Conesa saying the airline would “do everything” in its power to prevent the Gulf carrier from opening the route.

Gulf carrier Emirates will launch a new route to Mexico City later this year, less than ten months after cancelling plans to serve the Mexican capital.
