Mexico AIFA airport budget and profitability

Overview

Lawmakers from the National Action Party (PAN) initially demanded that the federal government exclude the Felipe Angeles International Airport (AIFA) and Mexicana de Aviación from the 2027 Expenditure Budget. PAN deputies characterized these projects as “faraonic” whims that caused significant public finance deficits, noting that AIFA required federal subsidies.

However, the Ministry of Finance’s 2027 Expenditure Budget Project (PPEF) indicates that AIFA will no longer receive public funds. The terminal has reportedly reached a break-even point and is operating with commercial profits, with projections suggesting it will generate more than 2.2 billion pesos in income. This financial shift is attributed to steady passenger traffic and the transfer of cargo flights from the Mexico City International Airport (AICM). Despite these gains, the airport faces expansion challenges due to restrictions on cross-border market penetration from the United States administration.
