MEXICO CITY, Nov 17 - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that Mexico had agreed to hand over some flight slots at the nation's busy capital airport from Mexican carriers to U.S. airlines, amid an ongoing spat between the countries over flight distribution.

      Sheinbaum declined to say how many slots were impacted. Last month, the U.S. revoked approval for more than a dozen routes operated by Mexican carriers, as retribution for what it called the illegal cancellation of U.S. carrier flights to Mexico.
