Sheinbaum Holds Second Round of Talks With Cargo Operators on AIFA Disruptions

The talks respond to U.S. cancellations from the Felipe Ángeles airport over alleged breaches of the bilateral aviation pact.

Overview

  • Sheinbaum said she met again with national and foreign companies and industry associations involved in cargo operations at AIFA.
  • The session follows more than a month of U.S. flight cancellations from AIFA that have affected freight activity at the Estado de México hub.
  • U.S. authorities in late October revoked authorization for more than a dozen routes operated by Mexican airlines, citing what they called illegal cancellations of U.S. flights to Mexico.
  • On November 17, Sheinbaum announced that Mexican airlines would cede some slots at Mexico City International Airport to U.S. carriers as a mitigation step.
  • The presidency presented the meetings as ongoing coordination with operators to address the operational impacts on AIFA’s cargo services.
