Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) continues   talks with  Awesome Cargo to have the Mexican cargo company land at the U.S. airport and load more goods from trucking onto the plane.

“We had some interesting talks with Mas , but we didn’t reach anything concrete, although they are aware of the opportunity that exists at DFW to Mexico, also to transport cargo with a stopover in Mexico and continue on to South America, a region where we have strong demand,” explained Milton de la Paz, Vice President of Airline Relations and Cargo Business Development at DFW.

In an interview with T21, he considered that, due to the current demand in markets like China , on which both Mexican airlines have focused, their arrival at that airport has not yet materialized.

He explained that after the actions implemented by the United States against e-commerce from China, a large percentage changed their destination to South America, which represents a great opportunity for Mexican cargo companies.

 “The stretch between Dallas and Mexico is short, it won’t generate much revenue, but there is demand,” he stressed.

The executive commented that currently a large amount of cargo between Mexico and Dallas is moved by land, while less is moved by air, since the cargo holds of aircraft have less capacity, and the priority is passenger luggage.

He explained that goods such as semiconductors, as well as supplies from sectors such as aerospace, automotive and perishables, are among the products that would be moved by cargo ships.

Regarding cargo handling at the close of 2025 in DFW, Milton de la Paz stated that they had a growth of almost 7% year-on-year , which he considered “a great achievement” in light of the tariffs announced by the US government at the beginning of last year.

“We overcame it and grew, it was over 850,000 tons, and what drove the growth were the artificial intelligence centers, and that sector increased imports of this type of equipment,” he emphasized.

Under that scenario, he explained that so far they have not registered a major impact from the conflict in the Middle East , but rather that more cargo planes from Asia have landed at DFW.

“We’re seeing more cargo traffic from Asia, which is good for us, particularly for the technology sector. What we lost, we’re gaining elsewhere, and that’s helped us. Also, there are congested airports, and Dallas has capacity; plus, we’re close to Mexico and have good access to the country,” he said.

He noted that they are making investments to strengthen the cargo infrastructure, and are conducting studies for the construction of new warehouses with new technology for better handling of goods in the future.

The executive explained that their plans include controlling cargo movement at the airport , since currently the handling of goods is done by different companies.

“Currently, one warehouse is managed by one company, another by a different one; they can’t coordinate, and that’s not good for the ecosystem. That’s why we want to see how to control all of that and raise the standard in cargo handling, which can be greatly improved. We want to be recognized as an airport that offers excellent cargo handling services. It’s something we’ve been studying for a long time, and it’s something that will change the airport’s dynamics,” he concluded.

El cargo Talks continue for Awesome Cargo to land at DFW apareció primero en T21.

“We’re working with many Mexican freight forwarders to increase perishables from Mexico, not only to the Texas area but also to those continuing on to Asia. American Airlines unloads a lot of cargo in Dallas from Asia and Europe, but doesn’t have the capacity to fly it to Mexico and has to go overland. Therefore, with the two Mexican freighters, they can move more cargo,” said Milton de la Paz, vice president of Airline Relations and Cargo Business Development at DFW Airport.

In this regard, he confirmed to T21 that he is in talks with executives from Awesome Cargo and mas Cargo to begin a flight from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) to the U.S. airport.

“AIFA is becoming a very important logistics center for Mexico and has great potential for continued growth,” he says.

Luis Ramos, CEO and founder of the Mexican freight company Awesome Cargo, confirms that he has met with DFW authorities . Additionally, with its new aircraft, they are exploring the possibility of landing in new markets such as South America, primarily Brazil and Ecuador.

Luis Ramos, CEO and founder of the Mexican cargo company Awesome Cargo , announced through his social networks that the airline has already started a Mexico-China service , with a technical stopover at the Los Angeles airport.

In a post on his LinkedIn account, Ramos detailed that they successfully launched weekly flight operations to the Asian country, while the ramp and material service for the aircraft will be provided by AeroCharter USA.

“This is a dream come true and it gives me great satisfaction to be able to enjoy this day with my best friend, mentor and father Luis Ramos Landero, whose support and guidance have been fundamental,” said Luis Ramos.

The cargo airline, which has a broad business portfolio, such as aircraft leasing, crew and maintenance, has its base of operations at Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) .

The company seeks to “democratize” air cargo with point-to-point connectivity and offer better rates , give a higher focus to the Mexican producer and be another option in the market.

In 2022, the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) awarded the first concession to provide the National Air Cargo Public Transport Service to the Mexican company TM Aerolíneas Awesome Cargo, to operate cargo flights to and from AIFA .

Based in Mexico City, the airline offers capacity of up to 55 tons , with the help of a fleet of two Airbus 330-200 aircraft, and has an ambitious expansion plan to provide various options to its customers on short, medium and long-haul routes.

In this regard, and according to its website, the company provides connectivity with South America, in addition to offering comprehensive solutions in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as in the local network .

Among the products that can be transported are: general cargo, pharmaceuticals, live animals and perishable goods.
