Mexico City Airport to Halt Flights Sept. 16 for Independence Day Flyover

The five-hour pause follows an AFAC NOTAM issued to secure military aerial maneuvers.

Overview

  • Departures and arrivals at AICM will be suspended from 9:00 to 14:00 local time on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
  • The restriction is formalized in NOTAM A6215/25 issued by the Federal Civil Aviation Agency and disseminated by SENEAM.
  • AICM coordinated the pause with AFAC, SENEAM, the Navy and the Defense Ministry to protect the airspace for Fuerza Aérea operations.
  • Airlines may adjust schedules, so travelers with flights in that window should verify status with their carrier.
  • Operations will resume after the flyovers, which accompany the parade route from the Zócalo along Avenida Juárez and Paseo de la Reforma to Campo Marte under President Claudia Sheinbaum's lead.
