Sept 8 (Reuters) - Officials from the U.S. Department of
Transportation have informed Mexico's foreign minister that
Mexico will officially recover a U.S.-given air safety rating
next week, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on
Friday.
    Mexico was downgraded by the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration to the Category 2 safety rating more than two
years ago, pausing Mexican airlines' plans to expand new routes
to its northern neighbor.
