Mexico will boost its civil aviation regulator with 100 new staffers and a budget increase to address safety deficiencies flagged by the United States. The overhaul follows FAA concerns that threaten to strip the nation of its top safety rating. A potential downgrade would restrict international expansion for carriers including GRUPO AEROMEXICO SAB DE CV.
