Mexico’s state-owned Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) obtained a one year permit from the Energy Ministry to import 160,000 liters of sustainable aviation fuel (bioturbosina) for sale to airlines operating in the country.
With this move, ASA joins the green energy transition, aiming to diversify its aviation fuel business currently distributing tens of millions of liters of traditional jet fuel daily while adhering to strict certification and traceability standards required by regulators.

On October 28, the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) issued the PART 213 Notification and Order Disapproving Certain Schedules and the Order To Show Cause Proposing to Condition Certain Foreign Air Carrier Permits and Exemptions, stemming from: (i) the Decree that expelled all-cargo airlines from MEX, while allowing belly cargo on passenger flights; and (ii) the confiscation and opacity in the management of slots at MEX since 2022 with capacity reductions from 61 to 43 movements/hour, which “disproportionately affected U.S. airlines.”

The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) revoked 13 new routes that Mexican airlines planned to operate to the U.S., a move that the Mexican government described as arbitrary and politically motivated. Officials emphasized that the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) meets all operational and safety standards, suggesting that the decision could be part of a broader pressure campaign by Donald Trump as he prepares for the renegotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Analysts believe Trump intends to use Mexican airports such as AIFA and Mexico City International Airport (AICM) as bargaining chips to obtain concessions in areas of trade and border control. The cancellation of these routes adds new tension to the already complex commercial relationship between both countries, just months before formal negotiations are expected to begin.

The aviation sector in Latin America now accounts for 3.6% of the region’s GDP, contributing an estimated 240 billion USD to the regional economy. This includes direct, indirect, and induced effects generated by airlines, airports, and related services. The industry supports millions of jobs and plays a crucial role in connecting communities, facilitating tourism, and driving trade across borders. Experts emphasize that aviation has become a key economic engine, linking even remote areas with global markets and generating long-term benefits for development, competitiveness, and investment across Latin America.

Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico’s Secretary of Economy, announced that negotiations with Donald Trump’s administration over tariffs on steel and aluminum are 90 % complete. The main sticking point remains the steel sector, with Washington maintaining tariffs of up to 50 %.
Ebrard emphasized that Mexico has inspected over 1,000 mills and suspended those failing to meet standards. He said both countries aim to resolve disputes before the 2026 USMCA review to ensure a smooth trilateral process.

The Mexican Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) is facing one of its worst administrative crises in years. Licensing procedures for pilots, flight attendants, technicians, and controllers have come to a complete halt due to the lack of plastic materials needed to print licenses — a result of the government’s failure to release funds to suppliers. This situation has led to delays of up to nine months, leaving thousands of aviation professionals without valid credentials, directly impacting their jobs and certifications.
The recent appointment of a new AFAC director has only deepened the uncertainty. With internal communication collapsing and no timeline for budget release, the aviation sector is under strain: training schools are stalled, airlines have grounded personnel, and the country’s civil aviation system is showing critical signs of dysfunction. Industry members are demanding immediate government action to restore operations and prevent further damage to Mexico’s aviation infrastructure.

Mexico City International Airport (AICM), now managed by the Mexican Navy, has entered an “intense” remodeling stage that covers both terminals without disrupting flight operations. About 15% of the work has been completed, representing 3 billion pesos invested from a total of 8.5 billion. The goal is to reach 70% completion by April 2026, before the World Cup. Renovations include new façades, improved drainage, better lighting, wooden finishes, and restructured commercial areas to enhance passenger flow.
