IATA responds to Mexico because of Mexico City Airport's capacity

06-09-23

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has responded to the Mexican government over the capacity of Mexico City International Airport (AICM), the country's busiest airport. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador recently announced a reduction in operations at the facility, a "unilateral decision" that IATA "rejects and questions".

In this regard, the association calls on the Mexican authorities to jointly seek alternative measures that take into account the negative impact on passengers, air operations, connectivity, tourism and competitiveness, as well as compliance with the international commitments made by the country.
