In this way, the deadlines proposed by the National Chamber of Air Transport (canaero), 360 days, and the International Air Transport Association (IATA for its acronym in English), 180 days, to carry out an adequate migration to the airport that each company chooses.
The day before, the president said in his morning conference that the term would be 90 days, as initially proposed, from the moment DHL will start operations at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA), a facility that has been offered as an alternative to the AICM.
“And why are you worried that the cargo will go to Felipe Ángeles if this is going to allow spaces to be freed up for the city’s airport? What worries you, if there are going to be fiscal precincts, if they have the railway, do they have much more spaces? Or are you thinking that it is like before? Because before, drugs and money were even brought into that airport; Well, now the Secretary of the Navy has it precisely to control it… And they say: Yes, we accept, but we want a year. They think I’m sucking my thumb. Why a year? They want to kick the boat. They say: He’s going to leave and we’re already staying”, said the President.
