Currently there is no other carrier operating directly the Mexico – Barcelona flight. However, Emirates is trying to open the route under a Dubai – Barcelona – Mexico City schedule, under a fifth article agreement. Aeromexico strongly opposed, stating that Emirates it’s a subsidized airline and it should not be fair to compete against the Gulf carrier.
