<p><strong><a href="https://www.latamairlines.com/mx/es"><span dir="auto">LATAM Airlines Group</span></a><span dir="auto"> completed its first 13 passenger charter flights using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , a project that is part of its sustainability strategy and its goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">The flights operated between Santiago, Chile, and Ushuaia, Argentina</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , and were allocated 22,400 gallons of SAF (Safety and Fuel Oil) under the </span><em><span dir="auto">Book and Claim</span></em><span dir="auto"> chain of custody methodology . This initiative marks the airline&#8217;s first emissions reduction project associated with passenger charter operations, developed in partnership with a client.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“This operation together with </span><a href="https://en.ponant.com/explorations"><span dir="auto">Ponant Explorations</span></a><span dir="auto"> demonstrates that today there are already concrete mechanisms for our customers to be part of the reduction of emissions associated with their air operations, while we continue to promote the development and adoption of sustainable aviation fuels in the region,” said Thibaud Morand, LATAM Airlines&#8217; general manager for Europe, Asia and Oceania.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">He explained that the </span><strong><span dir="auto">reduction of 160 tons of emissions</span></strong><span dir="auto"> was calculated following the methodology established by CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation), of the </span><a href="https://www.icao.int/es"><span dir="auto">International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , comparing the emission factors of the Jet-A1 fossil fuel with those of the SAF used.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“This collaboration with LATAM represents another step in our commitment to more sustainable tourism,” commented Wassim Daoud, Director of CSR and Sustainable Development at Ponant Explorations.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">LATAM Airlines Group is working on fleet modernization, operational efficiency, promoting the use of SAF and offsetting emissions through strategic projects for the region as a complementary measure.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">For an aviation company, fuel represents between 30% and 40% of operating costs, so SAF is an alternative to achieve its sustainability goals.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">The 2026 FIFA World Cup has boosted passenger traffic at Monterrey International Airport, operated by </span><a href="https://www.oma.aero/es/"><span dir="auto">Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , registering </span><strong><span dir="auto">a 5.5% increase in passenger traffic from June 1 to 21, 2026,</span></strong><span dir="auto"> compared to the same period last year.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to the concessionaire, </span><strong><span dir="auto">153,075 passengers from or destined for outside the country</span></strong><span dir="auto"> passed through that air terminal during that cycle .</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“Monterrey Airport continues to play a key role in the region&#8217;s connectivity, facilitating the arrival of national and international visitors and contributing to the positioning of Nuevo León as a globally relevant destination, confirming the opportunity of the investment of more than eight billion pesos (mdp) that we continue to implement to expand, modernize and transform the Monterrey air terminal into the air </span><em><span dir="auto">hub</span></em><span dir="auto"> of northern Mexico,” stated Ricardo Dueñas, CEO of OMA.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">He recalled that during that period the game between Japan and Tunisia was held, where the airport served 59,898 international passengers, 12.9% higher than the same period of the previous year, growth driven by the arrival of visitors, fans, work teams, media and business travelers linked to the economic and tourist activity generated by this global event.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“The extensive network of international routes operating from Monterrey, along with the recent addition of new destinations and frequencies, has allowed us to efficiently meet the demand of travelers arriving in the city during this period of high activity,” Dueñas emphasized.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">OMA estimated that with two more World Cup games to be played in the coming weeks, including South Africa vs. Korea on June 24 and the round of 32 match between the first place in Group F and the second place in Group C on June 29, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the expectation is that the influx of international travelers will continue to grow</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Currently, the airport maintains operations to more than 66 destinations, 26 of which are international, and continues to implement an investment and modernization program in infrastructure, technology, and passenger experience to meet the sustained growth of air demand and </span><strong><span dir="auto">strengthen its operational capacity</span></strong><span dir="auto"> for the coming years.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">Humberto López, head of Air Product at </span><a href="https://www.eiffmx.com/"><span dir="auto"> Eternity Group Mexico</span></a><span dir="auto"> , explained that due to the conflict in the Middle East, as well as an increase in demand and certain complications in maritime routes, there was an increase in fares.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“The difference between air and sea freight is decreasing, and therefore, many customers, in order to meet their commitments and deliver on time, are switching from ships to planes; in other words, the volume has increased precisely because of the variations in sea freight,” he said in an interview with T21.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">He specified that the merchandise being transported by plane is from e-commerce, which </span><strong><span dir="auto">continues to grow despite trade restrictions and tariffs</span></strong><span dir="auto"> ; the Mexico-China route alone continues to increase.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“We see that, in the case of China, the fastest-growing route was from Shanghai to AIFA and from Hong Kong to Guadalajara. This has a lot to do with e-commerce, but also with electronics, spare parts in general, textiles, and consumer products; this is what has been driving the increase in volume,” he commented.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">The AFAC reported that domestic cargo increased from 119,121.6 tons between January and April 2025 to 119,740.2 tons during the same period in 2026, representing a 0.5 percent rise. The airports of Querétaro, </span><a href="https://www.aicm.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexico City International Airport (AICM)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , Guadalajara, and Monterrey stood out in this regard, showing growth.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">Authorities at </span><a href="https://www.aicm.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexico City International Airport (AICM)</span></a><span dir="auto"> believe that the renovations being carried out on this infrastructure could allow for a further increase </span><strong><span dir="auto">in </span></strong><strong><span dir="auto">takeoff </span></strong><strong><span dir="auto">and landing </span><em><span dir="auto">slots</span></em><span dir="auto"> .</span></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“I believe so, we are working towards that. We are building three taxiways; Delta One is already finished, which allows the aircraft to occupy the runway for the shortest possible time; the second taxiway is already under construction and will be completed in July of this year, and a third one between December and January of next year,” Admiral Juan José Padilla Olmos, general director of AICM, told T21.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">However, he specified that the </span><a href="https://www.gob.mx/afac/es"><span dir="auto">Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC)</span></a><span dir="auto"> and the </span><a href="https://www.tsa.gov/"><span dir="auto">Transportation Security Administration (TSA)</span></a><span dir="auto">  will determine, through an evaluation of the AICM&#8217;s capabilities, whether it is feasible to increase the </span><em><span dir="auto">slots</span></em><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><em><span dir="auto">Padilla Olmos also confirmed that the slots</span></em><span dir="auto"> that were taken away from Mexican and international airlines in 2022 have already been returned to them. Furthermore, he confirmed that there are no dedicated cargo planes involved in this arrangement, although if one requests it, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the AFAC (Federal Civil Aviation Agency) will evaluate its potential landing at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“We haven’t received any requests from any cargo companies. They would have to submit their request, and AFAC has the directives, and as soon as we receive a request, we will forward it to the agency,” he explained.</span></p></blockquote>

<p><span dir="auto">It is worth remembering that the federal government, when it was headed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, decreed saturation at the AICM in 2022, so the operations went from 61 to 52 and later from 52 to 43, until May 2025, when they increased to 44 and </span><strong><span dir="auto">recently the increase to 46 was ordered, a measure that came into effect on June 1</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Padilla Olmos indicated that </span><strong><span dir="auto">granting a </span><em><span dir="auto">slot</span></em><span dir="auto"> means 1.2 million additional passengers per year</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , so it is expected that with the increase to 46 operations, 2026 will close with close to 49 million travelers.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“Those 46 are now permanent, and the results will start to be reflected from December onwards because the airlines have to offer them and adjust their flights,” he explained.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">In that regard, Héctor Fabián Cortés Álvarez, Deputy Director of Operations at AICM, told this media outlet that the <em>slots</em> that were taken away from them in 2022 have already been reinstated for US airlines </span><a href="https://es.delta.com/mx/es"><span dir="auto">Delta</span></a><span dir="auto"> , </span><a href="https://www.aa.com/homePage.do?locale=es_MX"><span dir="auto">American Airlines</span></a><span dir="auto"> and </span><a href="https://www.united.com/es/us"><span dir="auto">United , as well as for </span></a><span dir="auto"><a href="https://www.aeromexico.com/new/es-mx">Aeroméxico</a> , <a href="https://www.vivaaerobus.com/es-mx/">Viva</a> and <a href="https://www.volaris.com/">Volaris</a> , and also <a href="https://www.avianca.com/es/">Avianca</a> , while <a href="https://www.lufthansa.com/mx/es/homepage">Lufthansa</a> continues to analyze the offer.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">He recalled that </span><strong><span dir="auto">on May 15, takeoff and landing slots were assigned for the upcoming winter season</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , “some were confiscated for misuse, that is done by the AFAC, and they are told what the assignment list is, what they cancel and what they are going to use and an operational reserve is generated that we take to the Slot Convention (held in Bangkok, Thailand, from June 9 to 11).”</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">He explained that </span><strong><span dir="auto">a reservation of 2,300 </span><em><span dir="auto">slots</span></em></strong><span dir="auto"> was achieved , plus the increase, so there were 5,600 new operations.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“That’s something we’ll see reflected through October, November, and December. International companies received refunds for about 700 transactions, and domestic companies also received refunds for previous reductions, for which 2,400 transactions were processed,” he emphasized.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">In that regard, he emphasized that American Airlines requested more operations because it anticipates a greater increase in winter; additionally, Aeromexico, Volaris and Viva are requesting to increase flights, as they will start new routes to Latin America.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“Of those, 1,100 will be new operations; most already fly here, but they will increase routes,” he explained.</span></p></blockquote>

<p><span dir="auto">One week after the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the expectation of a greater influx of passengers at the </span><a href="https://www.aicm.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexico City International Airport (AICM)</span></a><span dir="auto"> has not yet materialized, despite the fact that this infrastructure was the subject of various modernization works, </span><strong><span dir="auto">whose total investment will be 10 billion pesos (mdp)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">During a tour conducted by T21 at both terminals of the Mexico City International Airport (AICM), </span><strong><span dir="auto">no crowds</span></strong><span dir="auto"> or significant increase in the presence of domestic or international tourists related to the World Cup were observed. The corridors, check-in areas, waiting rooms, and commercial establishments showed moderate activity, far from the high occupancy that some sectors had anticipated for this time of year.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The situation was also reflected in the two Fan Fest areas set up inside Mexico City International Airport (AICM) to offer passengers the chance to follow the tournament matches while waiting for their flights. Although they had screens for broadcasting the games and areas for socializing, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the number of fans was limited</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . The country&#8217;s main airport lacked the usual excitement that accompanies an event of this magnitude.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Admiral Juan José Padilla Olmos, general director of the AICM, told this media outlet that passenger traffic </span><strong><span dir="auto">has remained at an average of 115,000 to 120,000 daily users</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“There’s a constant trend, and the day we had the fewest passengers, for natural reasons, was the inauguration day. We handle 125,000 daily. Growth has been very slight; there hasn’t been the increase we expected. Studies projected six million passengers, not all for Mexico City International Airport (AICM), but distributed among Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Cancún. We expected an increase of 400,000 to 500,000 passengers per month starting in May. We have an average of 3.5 or 3.6 million passengers per month, and we thought we would be close to four million. We’ll probably reach that number this month,” he explained.</span></p></blockquote>
<figure id="attachment_676957" class="wp-caption aligncenter" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-676957"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-676957 size-full" src="https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px" srcset="https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01.jpg 1170w, https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01-300x179.jpg 300w, https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01-768x459.jpg 768w, https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01-600x359.jpg 600w, https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01-150x90.jpg 150w, https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01-750x449.jpg 750w, https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Aeropuerto01-1140x682.jpg 1140w" alt="" width="1170" height="700" data-pin-no-hover="true" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-676957" class="wp-caption-text"><span dir="auto">Admiral Juan José Padilla Olmos, Director General of the AICM.</span></figcaption></figure>
<p><span dir="auto">However, he stressed that </span><strong><span dir="auto">the AICM has the capacity to handle a high influx of passengers</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , since in phase one works were carried out to improve the comfort and experience of the user, as well as the use of new technology, something that had not been done in the last 15 years, among other works that increased the planned budget.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“We started with a project of eight billion five hundred million pesos and with unforeseen events such as collapsed drainage systems, improvements to lightning rod systems, camera equipment, we are now at over 10 billion pesos that will be completed in phase 2, and which will be finished in December 2026,” he specified.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">He highlighted that more than 30,000 square meters were recovered, which will structurally benefit the passenger more, complying with the standards of the </span><a href="https://www.iata.org/"><span dir="auto">International Air Transport Association (IATA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In turn, Captain Arturo Flores Melgoza, coordinator of the remodeling, indicated that these works were </span><strong><span dir="auto">carried out in just over a year with the airport&#8217;s own resources</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">He detailed that among the actions carried out were the expansion of spaces for taxis, the installation of new surveillance cameras, document validators, scanners and new technology that allows speeding up the crossing of a filter, as well as the renewal of baggage carousels and parking lots.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">Similarly, </span><strong><span dir="auto">a new internet service was installed for passenger use</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , in addition to the recovery of spaces, an increase in migration modules, information screens, relocation of businesses, to mention a few.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Padilla Olmos indicated that </span><strong><span dir="auto">the entire drainage system still needs updating</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , a third parking building needs to be built at Terminal 2, the inspection filters need to be renovated, the contact rooms at Terminal 1 need to be expanded, the flow separation system and roadways need to be improved, among other actions that will begin next August.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“Maintenance of the taxiways and aprons has not been neglected; it has been constant and ongoing. There isn&#8217;t an opportunity for another runway; we have enough for the 46 </span><em><span dir="auto">slots</span></em><span dir="auto"> (takeoff and landing times) we have. We still need to attend to the runways year after year with the maintenance that is done. They aren&#8217;t potholes, but there are deformations due to natural subsidence,” he explained.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding the possible construction of Terminal 3, Padilla considered that &#8220;it is very risky to give an opinion,&#8221; although he mentioned that once the second phase of remodeling is completed, a study on the subject could be carried out through the </span><a href="https://www.gob.mx/afac"><span dir="auto">Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC)</span></a><span dir="auto"> and </span><a href="https://www.seneam.gob.mx/gobmx/"><span dir="auto">the Mexican Air Navigation Services (Seneam)</span></a><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“This is an issue that requires thorough analysis, a meeting of many knowledgeable people, an interdisciplinary committee that understands air traffic, road infrastructure, and where to relocate the infrastructure. Giving an opinion is very risky,” he emphasize.</span></p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“It is an honor to assume this new role and continue building upon the strong foundation our teams have created in Mexico and Canada. Throughout my career at American, I have witnessed firsthand the dedication and talent of our people, and I am excited to work alongside them to further strengthen our operations, improve reliability, and deliver the exceptional service our customers expect,” said Torri.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">The airline stated that </span><strong><span dir="auto">this appointment is part of a broader reorganization</span></strong><span dir="auto"> of the management team across the region, building on the strong foundation established by the late Tony Gutiérrez, followed by José María Giraldo, who recently moved into a key leadership position in the United States.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">Paola has over 25 years of experience at American Airlines</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Most recently, she served as People Business Partner for the international division, based in Mexico City, supporting teams in Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States. She will continue to be based in Mexico City and will report to José A. Freig, Vice President of International Operations and In-Flight Catering Services.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">American Airlines will offer more than 600 weekly flights this summer</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and up to 760 weekly flights during the peak winter season, including its recently expanded service to Puerto Escondido. In Canada, it will operate more than 390 weekly flights and continues its expansion with new service between Calgary and New York, complementing its existing service at LaGuardia.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">According to OMA, while the construction of new infrastructure continues to advance, Monterrey Airport maintains continuous operation, serving approximately 16 million passengers annually and more than 130,000 air operations per year; in addition, it has strengthened its capabilities for a more efficient, safe, and agile operation for travelers.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“We are building the airport of the future without halting the airport of the present. We know that the construction may represent temporary adjustments for our users, but it is also the visible sign of a profound transformation that is already generating concrete benefits for those who travel through Monterrey,” said Ricardo Dueñas, CEO of Grupo OMA.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">As part of this transformation, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the airport is already operating with new technological tools</span></strong><span dir="auto"> that streamline passenger transit and strengthen security standards, such as self-service kiosks that multiply the positions for checking luggage in a couple of minutes.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Automatic doors that, </span><strong><span dir="auto">through the QR code of the boarding pass, expedite access to the security checkpoints</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , biometric reading of passports in international arrivals and in collaboration with the </span><a href="https://www.gob.mx/inm"><span dir="auto">National Institute of Migration (INM)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , verify identity in real time and accept electronic passports from 30 countries.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">Meanwhile, HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX equipment with three-dimensional Computed Tomography (CT) technology, one of the most advanced </span><strong><span dir="auto">airport screening solutions internationally</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , is now operational . This means passengers no longer need to remove laptops, liquids, gels, or electronic devices from their luggage during screening, speeding up the security checkpoints and improving the travel experience. This technology is already in place at the Terminal A screening checkpoint and will soon be implemented at Terminal C.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">These works represent an investment of eight billion pesos (mdp)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> destined for the Monterrey International Airport between 2025 and 2030, as part of a multi-year program of more than 16 billion pesos for the entire OMA network.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In preparation for the World Cup tournament, the airport will enhance its signage and provide information kiosks to guide national and international visitors, in addition to the ongoing work of its Passenger Experience Committee on key operational processes.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“We continue to transform the travel experience in Monterrey with industry-leading infrastructure and technology. The World Cup is an important milestone, but this investment is designed for sustained growth in the coming years. Together with passengers, authorities, and partners, we are building the airport of the future: bigger, more comfortable, safer, and better connected,” Dueñas emphasized.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">Meanwhile, GAP reported that </span><strong><span dir="auto">Guadalajara International Airport is shaping up to be one of the main entry points for fans, delegations, and tourists</span></strong><span dir="auto"> arriving in the country during the World Cup, where the city will host four matches and a cultural and tourist agenda that will expand the flow of national and international travelers.</span></p>

<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“This major football event represents a unique opportunity to showcase the operational capacity and long-term vision with which we have developed Guadalajara&#8217;s airport infrastructure. The investments made in recent years allow us to meet record demand and continue supporting the region&#8217;s economic and tourism growth,” stated Cryshtian Amador Lizardi, administrator of the Guadalajara Airport.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">The upgrade of this airport terminal was part of the 2020-2024 Master Development Plan, in which GAP allocated </span><strong><span dir="auto">more than 15 billion pesos for the airport&#8217;s modernization and expansion</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Among the most significant projects are the construction of a second runway, 3,538 meters long; the expansion of the hangars to 45 positions; the renovation of 26,000 square meters of the terminal building; and the doubling of parking capacity.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">These investments </span><strong><span dir="auto">are complemented by operational measures implemented in the context of the</span></strong><span dir="auto"> world&#8217;s most important sporting event in football. Since June, vehicular access has been expanded to three lanes, a project designed to expedite entry times to the terminal and optimize traffic flow in one of the corridors with the highest passenger volume.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Meanwhile, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the Jalisco government inaugurated Line 5 of the Mi Macro Airport system</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , one of the most significant mobility projects developed for this major football event. The electric transport system will connect the airport terminal with various strategic points in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area via three main routes, strengthening urban connectivity for visitors and residents.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Ahead of the opening ceremony, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the national teams from South Korea, the Czech Republic, and Colombia</span></strong><span dir="auto"> arrived on charter flights and were processed under a special protocol that included immigration and customs controls on the tarmac, on-site baggage inspection with X-ray equipment, specialized handling of sports equipment, and enhanced security with canine units. Specialized airport personnel were also deployed to ensure efficient, safe, and coordinated processes during the teams&#8217; arrival and transit within the airport facilities.</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.dpworld.com/en"><span dir="auto">DP World</span></a><span dir="auto"> announced that it has obtained certification from the </span><a href="https://www.iata.org/"><span dir="auto">International Air Transport Association (IATA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> for its <strong><em>freight forwarding</em></strong></span><strong><span dir="auto"> operations in Mexico City</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , an accreditation that will allow it to directly operate air freight services in a context marked by the growth of </span><em><span dir="auto">nearshoring</span></em><span dir="auto"> (relocation of production lines) and the increasing integration of supply chains in North America.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The certification enables the company to market air cargo transport without intermediaries, issue air waybills as an accredited agent, operate directly with airlines, and access the IATA </span><strong><span dir="auto">Cargo Account Settlement System (CASS)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . This expands the company&#8217;s capabilities as part of a strategy aimed at strengthening logistical connectivity between Mexico, the United States, and other international markets.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The accreditation comes at a time when regional supply chains are undergoing a transformation driven by the </span><strong><span dir="auto">relocation of manufacturing processes to Mexico</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . This phenomenon has increased cross-border trade flows and, at the same time, put pressure on the available logistics infrastructure, particularly at major border crossings.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">According to data cited by the company from the </span><a href="https://www.bts.gov/"><span dir="auto">U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , the </span><strong><span dir="auto">Laredo land port accounted for 38.8% of all truck crossings from Mexico</span></strong><span dir="auto"> during 2025, a figure that reflects the high level of concentration of commercial operations and the challenges associated with the mobility of goods between the two countries.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">Given this scenario, diversifying logistics options and integrating different modes of transport have become increasingly important for companies participating in regional supply chains. In this regard, </span><strong><span dir="auto">air transport</span></strong><span dir="auto"> has become an alternative for certain cargo segments that require greater speed or operational flexibility.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The certification also contributes to DP World&#8217;s expansion in Mexico. The company currently has a presence in </span><strong><span dir="auto">Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Querétaro, and Ciudad Juárez</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , where it operates five </span><em><span dir="auto">freight forwarding</span></em><span dir="auto"> offices and four warehousing facilities with a combined area exceeding 55,000 square meters.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Within this strategy, the recent launch of </span><strong><span dir="auto">a multi-client warehouse in Querétaro</span></strong><span dir="auto"> stands out , an entity that has consolidated itself as one of the main manufacturing and logistics hubs in the country due to its strategic location and the concentration of export-oriented industries.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">Terry Donohoe, CEO of DP World in Mexico</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , noted that the certification strengthens the company&#8217;s operational capacity to meet the country&#8217;s air cargo needs. &#8220;Mexico is a key gateway for trade, and the IATA certification in Mexico City strengthens our ability to offer customers faster, better-connected, and compliant air cargo solutions,&#8221; he stated.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The accreditation obtained in the Mexican capital is part of a regional network of </span><strong><span dir="auto">17 IATA-certified offices that DP World operates in 10 countries</span></strong><span dir="auto"> across the Americas, including the United States, Canada, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Peru.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The company also reported that it is working to </span><strong><span dir="auto">extend this certification</span></strong><span dir="auto"> to its operations in Monterrey and Guadalajara, in line with a strategy aimed at strengthening its air cargo transport capabilities and expanding the logistics alternatives available for the movement of goods within and outside the country.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Obtaining IATA certification reflects the growing importance of air transport within </span><strong><span dir="auto">logistics schemes linked to </span><em><span dir="auto">nearshoring</span></em></strong><span dir="auto"> , a process that continues to drive investments in infrastructure, storage, and specialized services to meet the demand resulting from the productive integration between Mexico and the United States.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">According to the airline, the </span><strong><span dir="auto">Medellín route has four weekly flights:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays outbound; and Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Mondays inbound, as it is an overnight flight. Meanwhile, the </span><strong><span dir="auto">Cartagena route has three weekly flights:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays outbound; and Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays inbound.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Viva first arrived in Colombia in 2021, when it began operating routes from Mexico City and Cancún to Bogotá. Subsequently, two additional routes to the capital were added from Guadalajara in 2022 and Monterrey in 2023, further strengthening connectivity between Mexico and Colombia.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">To date, the Mexican airline has already transported more than one million passengers across its four active routes in the South American country.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“These connections will also help boost domestic tourism, since upon landing at AIFA, Colombian passengers have the opportunity to conveniently connect with Viva’s network of more than 35 domestic and international routes at this airport,” the company stated.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">These include destinations such as Acapulco, Cancun, Guadalajara, Merida, Monterrey, Puerto Vallarta, Tijuana, and others.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Upon landing at AIFA, travelers have several </span><strong><span dir="auto">ground transportation options</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . One of these is Vivabus, a ground transportation service offered by the airline that connects passengers to key points in Mexico City such as the Angel of Independence, the Central de Autobuses del Norte (North Bus Terminal), and the Central de Autobuses del Sur (South Bus Terminal) Tasqueña. They can also board the Suburban Train from the airport, which will connect them directly to the Buenavista station in the city center.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“These new routes come just in time to facilitate the arrival of Colombian tourists who wish to attend the matches of the most important sporting event in the world, where the Colombian National Team will be playing in various Mexican venues,” he explained.</span></p></blockquote>
