💨 Abstract

Mexican officials announced plans to enhance state and military control over the nation's aviation network. President Claudia Sheinbaum aims to boost regional airports through increased subsidies and investments. The military, which now operates several airports, is tasked with improving infrastructure and attracting airline interest. Despite challenges like low traffic and neglected facilities, the government emphasizes a social mandate to serve underserved areas. Mexicana, a revived airline, is set to operate at a loss for nearly a decade.
