Overview
- The SICT, through the DGAF, announced that services offered via apps such as Uber are not authorized to operate at Mexico’s airports, including AICM and AIFA.
- The Thirteenth Administrative Court in Mexico City granted Uber a suspension to ensure National Guard operations follow the law, which the government stressed is not an operating permit.
- SICT advised travelers to continue using airport-authorized taxis, tourist transport services, and approved buses while regulatory matters remain unresolved.
- Uber filed an amparo challenging National Guard enforcement at airports tied to unauthorized pickups, and authorities cautioned that noncompliant trips may face sanctions.
- Local reporting indicates the National Guard has committed to respect the court measure in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, though app operations still lack federal authorization.
