Mexico City’s old airport told to cut flights by 17%, leading airlines to warn of mass cancellations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:06:49 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government ordered Mexico City’s old airport to cut flights by 17% Thursday, sparking warnings by airlines of possible mass flight cancellations. The new rules scheduled to take effect by Oct. 29 would require the terminal to reduce the number of flights per hour at the airport from 52 to 43. The airport has a design capacity of around 61 flights per hour, but that has already been cut to 52 previously. The airport has maintenance problems, including flooding or sewage smells in some areas.

The National Air Transport Chamber said the new rules for the Mexico City International Airport, or AICM, would hurt passengers, airlines and industry workers. “This unexpected reduction planned to start on Oct. 29 will imply the need to massively cancel flights, including for passenge...
