Mexico Urges U.S. Recognition of AICM and AIFA to Boost AIFA Passenger Flights

Officials describe an ongoing process with U.S. counterparts focused on routing rules.

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.
