Aeromexico, based in Mexico City, Mexico, said it would allow passengers to use mobile phones on board its flights after Mexico lifted, on September 1, 2009, a ban on the use of mobile phones on board aircraft operating in the country.

AeroMexico, the biggest airline in Mexico, has started the first non-stop international flight between New Orleans, in south-eastern Louisiana, the United States, and Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, since the 2005 Hurricane Katrina.
