MEXICO CITY -- China's airlines are reopening direct services linking the country to Mexico after a hiatus during the coronavirus pandemic, as a wave of Chinese manufacturers set up shop in the North American production hub.
On a recent evening, a gate at Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport was busy with Chinese passengers lining up for a Hainan Airlines flight to Beijing via northern Mexico's Tijuana. Hainan launched the long-haul route in July.
