Southwest Airlines Co. has won U.S. approval to fly from Houston to Mexico City and the San Jose del Cabo.

Dallas-based Southwest plans to operate the flights beginning in October from a new international terminal being built at Houston's Hobby Airport.

The number of flights between the U.S. and Mexico is limited by treaty. The U.S. Department of Transportation indicated Tuesday that both countries agreed to allow additional airlines to fly across the border.
