As reported by REPORTUR.mx, in the framework of the preliminary work of the 80th Annual General Assembly (AGM) of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Peter Cerda, vice president for the Americas of the association, highlighted at the time that the new government of President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum must focus on making significant investments in the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) and returning its capacity of 61 operations per hour, since this is still the primary airport, but requires very significant investments in infrastructure.
