Thrust "bumps" may be negotiated for specific routes (e.g. MEX > Europe) - this is usually an extra few % at a high elevation airport. It's specific to that airline, and some extra $$$ changes hands to account for extra wear & tear (warranty costs) on the engines. (Probably the wheels & tires too, if higher GS is used.)
