Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum asked the United States to acknowledge the strategic role of Mexico City’s AICM and the Felipe Ángeles airport.
- She said the objective is for the United States to help bring many more passenger flights to AIFA beyond its current cargo emphasis.
- Sheinbaum reported that there are no additional U.S. restrictions on Mexican flights at this time.
- The primary operational requirement she cited is advance reporting of which flights will arrive in the United States.
- A working group is coordinating matters between AICM and AIFA, and cargo carriers based at AIFA do not want to return to Benito Juárez.
