"Mexican President Warns of High Risk Operations at Capital Airport"

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador defended his decision to move cargo from Mexico City's principal airport, stating that operations at the airport are "very risky" due to operating at 150% of its capacity. The government-mandated flight cuts, set to take effect in January, have been criticized by industry groups and will also impact the usage tax collected from passengers. The move comes after the president scrapped the construction of an unfinished airport upon his election. Ratings agency Fitch recently revised the outlook of the trust managing the airport's outstanding bonds to negative, citing concerns about maintenance and passenger congestion.

Aviation Sector Faces Backlash Over Mexico City Flight Reductions

Mexico City International Airport (AICM) will reduce flights from 52 to 43 per hour starting in November, according to a decree issued by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The decision has sparked backlash from the aviation sector, with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) criticizing the government's unilateral decision and lack of consultation with operators and users. Mexico's top three carriers, Aeromexico, Volaris, and Viva Aerobus, have also expressed concerns about the short notice and negative impact on passengers and workers. The flight reductions aim to alleviate saturation in Mexico City's airspace and divert traffic to the newer Felipe Angeles International Airport.
