The Guatemala City Municipal Council approved Agreement COM-31-2026, which establishes new regulations and a permanent safety zone for properties located along the AeroMetro route. The regulation aims to protect the aerial cable car system by delimiting airspace and regulating building heights to prevent interference with cabin movement.

The safety zone encompasses two primary segments: the El Trébol-Montúfar stretch (2.1 km) and the El Trébol-Molino de las Flores stretch (6.8 km), the latter of which extends into Mixco. The municipality maintains authority to restrict urban heights for structures that interfere with safety margins or the kinematic sweep of the cabins. For existing properties, adjustments are not automatically mandated but will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis if a structure is found to interfere with the operational space of the AeroMetro system.
