* Mexico’s national flag carrier airline, Aeroméxico, has announced that it has had to cancel 59 national and international flights due a strike called by some of its pilots. The strike was called by some members of the Asociación Sindical de Pilotos Aviadores de México (Aspa) umbrella pilots’ union over the dismissal of an Aeroméxico pilot that they considered to be unfair.
