New flight reductions at Mexico City International Airport (AICM) will take effect in November, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Thursday, sparking an outcry from the aviation sector.
The government earlier in the day ordered by decree that the busiest airport in Latin America cut flights to 43 per hour from 52.
Instead, airport officials would present the methodology for distributing the cuts in a future meeting, the source added. Mexico's top three carriers, Aeromexico, Volaris and Viva Aerobus, all also criticized the cuts in separate statements. Volaris called for studies "to guarantee equity and avoid any form of discrimination in the implementation of these measures."
