Mexico’s Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) is expected to operate without federal operating funds in 2027, according to the proposed 2027 Federal Expenditure Budget. The Finance Ministry did not request resources for the airport’s operations, as AIFA has surpassed its break-even point and is now generating commercial profits. The airport is projected to receive more than 2.2 billion pesos in revenue next year, along with an initial availability of more than 3.6 billion pesos.

AIFA reported net profits of 581 million pesos during the first half of 2026 and currently generates approximately 3.2 million pesos in daily profits. Its financial performance has been supported by passenger growth, cargo operations transferred from Mexico City’s main airport and improved ground connectivity. However, international expansion remains limited by restrictions affecting additional flights between Mexico and the United States.

Mexico’s Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) has prepared new guidelines for the allocation of takeoff and landing slots at airports with potential Level 2 saturation. The framework seeks to manage growing operational demand more efficiently, reduce recurring delays, protect the regularity and safety of air operations and optimize available airport capacity. Although authorities have not yet officially published the classification of the country’s airports, Guadalajara and Cancún are already considered to be at this stage because of their increasing activity.

Under the proposed system, slot allocation at Level 2 airports would be based on coordination between airlines and airport administrators, without creating historical priority rights over specific schedules. Airport operators would establish capacity parameters and evaluate requests for new, modified or returned slots, while AFAC would supervise the process. Airlines expecting significant increases in operations, including during vacation periods, would also need to submit those plans in advance, while unauthorized operations or intentional deviations from assigned schedules could lead to sanctions.
