Mexico: Regulator looks into take-off and landing times at saturated airports

According to COFECE the draft “Decree amending and adding the Regulations of the Airports Law” and the “General Bases for the Allocation of Airport Landing and Take-Off Times in Saturation Conditions”, prepared by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation ( SCT), contain elements that could have negative effects on competition in the aviation industry in Mexico,.

COFECE has therefore issued a recommendation to the Federal Regulatory Improvement Commission not to exempt The SCT of their obligation to present a High Impact Regulatory Impact Statement (MIR), for each normative draft, as proposed by the Ministry.

In a statement COFECE said “The reforms proposed by the SCT could generate discretion, uncertainty and little transparency in slot allocation procedures in saturated airports of our country.”
