Strangers in their own land: Mexicans deported from Trump’s America find refuge in ‘Little LA’

With plentiful jobs and community support, one Mexico City neighbourhood has become a haven for those who have lived much of their lives in the US With its wide avenues lined with tall palm trees, its quaint cafes and old-school cantinas, as well as the mix of English and Spanish spoken on the street, the Tabacalera neighborhood in downtown Mexico City has a certain US feel – so much so that it is has become known as Little LA .

The bottleneck squeezing airline capacity isn’t demand, it’s parts

Consider this: global travel demand hasn’t collapsed this year, even with a war weighing on it, and the industry’s own load factor data argues for a supply story over a demand one. The real constraint running through the industry is supply: engines are sitting in the shop for repairs longer than carriers can plan around, and the industry’s main workaround, leaning on cargo while trimming passenger networks, shows up in ...
