MEXICO CITY, May 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo Aeroméxico, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Aeromexico" or the "Company") (BMV: AEROMEX) has taken knowledge of the decision by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States to downgrade Mexico to a Category 2 air safety rating as a result of a review carried out of the Federal Civil Aviation Agency of the Mexican Government.

The conclusions of the United States authority referred to the capacity of the Mexican State to comply with international standards on air safety, established by the International Civil Aviation Organization. (ICAO).

The decision implies that the Company, can continue to operate, without restriction, the flights it currently has to and from the United States. While Category 2 is maintained Aeromexico will not be able to add additional routes or frequencies, register new aircraft that can fly in United States airspace and adjustments will have to be made to existing codeshares with airlines from the United States.

It is important to specify that the decision was directed towards Mexico's civil aviation authority and not the Mexican airlines. Aeromexico continues to maintain the highest international safety standards and will continue its operations to the United States under the following considerations:

• Current flights to and from the United States will not be affected or restricted.
• All tickets, reservations, electronic vouchers, Premier Points and benefits and loyalty program benefits will remain valid.
• Customers will be able to continue buying tickets to and from the United States through all existing channels.
