New round of Mexico City flight cuts sparks aviation sector backlash
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -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. The decree requires the reductions to begin in the winter season, which the International Air Transport Association (IATA) defines as the last Sunday of October to the last Saturday of March.
