Mexico will soon allow American Airlines to serve the Mexican market. Most likely, this was one of Mexico's concessions during trade talks with the U.S.

Mexico's amlo said this would help with competition and lower prices for Mexicans and travelers.

During a speech, last Tuesday, Mexico’s president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, declared that his government wants to allow foreign airlines to serve domestic flights in Mexico.

Currently, only national carriers can operate domestic flights, and international airlines can land in Mexican cities but not offer internal connections. This could soon change. “Let’s open up aviation,” said president López Obrador: “Let’s open it up to the competition. That’s democracy.”
