Confronted with the truth of the brand new airport, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared in his morning convention lately that he has requested the house owners of the airways to extend their home flights that leave from and arrive on the new air base. The president mentioned he had spoken with Eduardo Tricio , president of Aeroméxico having a look to extend the selection of operations to AIFA: “He advised me that that they had already prolonged one to Vallarta, that they had one from Villahermosa this is pending, that there have been no longer many passengers. In relation to Villahermosa, I already advised you that the flight leaves very early, the go back flight does have sufficient passage and the only from Mérida rather well”.
López Obrador added that he has additionally requested the administrators of Volaris and Viva Aerobus for his or her collaboration: “We’re going to take a look at to get extra strains, that there are extra flights, we also are in search of extra to Toluca. We have already got the infrastructure this is required. An issue that we inherited has already been resolved… now we want to supplement issues”.
The routes recently working within the AIFA are: Puerto Vallarta and Mérida (operated by way of Aeroméxico), Tijuana and Cancún (operated by way of Volaris); and Guadalajara and Monterrey (operated by way of Viva Aerobus). The path to Villahermosa that was once firstly operated by way of Aeroméxico was once changed by way of the only to Puerto Vallarta given the low selection of passengers that used it (a mean of 20 folks consistent with flight).
Since its inception, the AIFA has been surrounded by way of controversy and skepticism. Upon his arrival in energy, AMLO performed a citizen session that ended in the cancellation of the New Mexico Town World Airport (NAIM) mission that was once being constructed within the Texcoco space, to make method for the development of the AIFA. The issue is that the brand new air port is a ways from the town and attending to it isn’t simple and it’s dear.
