![]() While Volaris agreed to reduce its capacity at MEX, Aeromexico and Viva Aerobus have not. Volaris even accepted that it would reduce in by around 10% its capacity at MEX. ![]() Shortly after, Aeromexico, Viva Aerobus, and Volaris announced several new domestic routes from NLU and TLC. Overall, it had nearly 35,000 passengers in one month, which is about 18% of what MEX handles in a single day. ![]() So far, NLU has minimal operations, and in April, it had a little over 1,100 daily passengers. So far, NLU has around 12 commercial operations daily, and Toluca has none, signaling a failure to push the metropolitan airport system in Mexico City (composed of MEX, NLU, and TLC and aimed to reduce the heavy workloads at MEX). Even before that, the Mexican government had issued a decree signaling that MEX’s two terminals were saturated most of the day, surpassing the acceptable number of passengers.Īdditionally, the government and the airline industry met and agreed to add new commercial services from NLU and TLC. These announcements were made following a few developments, including the International Federation of Air Line Pilots (IFALPA) concerns regarding Mexico City’s airspace and a near collision between two Volaris aircraft in Mexico City. The airport will also reduce its number of hourly operations from 60 to between 48 and 49 per hour. ![]() ![]() What happened here?Ī month ago, the Mexican government announced the Mexico City International Airport will not accept new flights instead, those services will have to go to the newly inaugurated Felipe Ángeles International Airport. Aeromexico has taken MEX’s claimed saturation to court to avoid this possible scenario. The Mexican flag carrier does not want to send a fraction of its operations to other hubs, such as the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) or the Toluca International Airport (TLC), which is something that it will most likely have to do by the start of the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) winter season. Aeromexico does not want to move out from Mexico City’s Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX). ![]()
