ASPA Secretary General Humberto Gual Angeles stated:
“We urge the federal government to comply with Article 32 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States.

“And to businessmen with insatiable interests, so that they do not dare try to cheapen our profession, because We will not allow this, we are not going to leave them.“
During the Pilots’ Emancipation Day Commemorative Assembly, Gual Angeles spoke about how ASPA pilots fought to protect their jobs and how history is now repeating itself. He said:
Aviation authorities have shown a lenient attitude towards some airlines regarding the flights of foreign crews on national aircraft and routes.

‘Excessive and unjustified’ increase in AICM will affect everyone: ASPA
Last December, ASPA warned that the government’s decision to “exorbitantly” increase the cost of airport services at Mexico City International Airport (AICM) would affect all industries.
On December 11, AICM announced new tariffs for airport services, increasing by an average of 77 percent.
Given this, ASPA has indicated that the solution is not to increase rates, but to reinvest AICM revenues into infrastructure, maintenance and sufficient staff to meet demand.
ASPA pilots expressed concern about the increase, which they called “excessive and unjustified.”
“Its use will reduce the competitiveness of the airport and the airlines that use it; It could also have a negative impact on the thousands of jobs that directly depend on both the airport and the airlines.”
