Mexico’s government plans to cap flights at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) to 43 an hour, according to an internal government document order seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
The resolution, sent by the Transportation Ministry to the airport, is expected to be published in Mexico’s official gazette soon, a source familiar with the matter said.

The cuts follow previous flight caps at the airport last year, as the government attempts to reduce saturation in the Mexican capital’s airspace.
Earlier on Wednesday, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) urged Mexico to take alternative measures to its plans to announce flight reductions at AICM.
The IATA said in a statement to Reuters it could not accept “any unilateral and uncoordinated decisions” that would hamper connectivity.
