Mexico’s 2027 electoral process will officially begin on September 10 with a civic ceremony marking the start of the election cycle. The launch will set in motion the institutional and political preparations for next year’s elections, including a series of deadlines and stages involving electoral authorities, political parties and prospective candidates.

The electoral calendar will guide the country through the different phases leading to the 2027 vote, making the September kickoff the starting point for months of organization and political activity. The process will establish the timetable for the key procedures that must take place before voters head to the polls.

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.

Mexicana de Aviación recorded an operating loss of 513 million pesos during the first half of 2026, as operating expenses continued to significantly exceed the state owned airline’s own revenue. The carrier generated 270 million pesos in revenue while spending more than 783 million pesos on salaries and other operating costs. Mexicana earned an average of 1,098 pesos per passenger while spending 3,188 pesos to transport each traveler.

The airline has continued to rely heavily on public funding, receiving more than 3.8 billion pesos through budget transfers and financing mechanisms during the first six months of the year. Despite expanding its fleet with Embraer 190 aircraft, its average occupancy remains below the level required to break even. Mexicana has also failed to provide an updated business plan detailing its financial projections, while management now expects the airline to reach its break even point by 2030.
