Overview
- SICT outlined draft changes to the federal transport law and its regulations to open airport zones to app-based ride services before the 2026 tournament.
- The proposal grants each platform a single global permit covering affiliated vehicles, exempts federal vehicle plates and federal driver licenses, and permits surge pricing.
- Airport operators would determine which apps can serve each aerodrome and set the number of vehicles allowed per brand.
- The initiative has not been approved, and SICT reiterated that app services still lack authorization at airports as the DGAF has not issued permits.
- Authorized airport taxi permit holders would keep current requirements and payments, and organized groups signal they will oppose the plan.
