MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - An Aeromexico flight to Los Angeles from Mexico City was canceled on New Year's Eve when officials citing security reasons said it would not be allowed to land, Mexican officials said Thursday.
Aeromexico Flight 490 was originally scheduled to take off in the late afternoon Wednesday but it was stopped after a call from U.S. Homeland Security officials, Agustin Gutierrez Canet, a spokesman for the Mexican president's office, told Reuters.
"The flight was canceled and the 40 passengers that were programmed to fly took another later flight on Mexicana," he said.
