Mexico Aviation Industry Gains International Recognition

Air Transport Competitiveness Index Places Mexico at the Top. ALTA applauded the country’s superior connectivity, accessibility and air transport policies, as Mexico is making a major turn around since the COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected the industry. Air passenger traffic fell over 90 percent in Latin America and the Caribbean between March and April 2020 but Mexico’s aviation industry has made a speedy recovery.

“Among the conclusions of the competitiveness index, the three most competitive countries turned out to be Mexico, Brazil and Panama. Mexico stands out for its high level of connectivity and its air transport policy, as well as the markets that a Mexican citizen can access without the need for a Visa,” highlighted ALTA.

ACA recognized the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, Aguascalientes International Airport and Guanajuato International Airport for reaching its Level 3 ‘Optimization’ phase rank. There are only 11 airports in Latin America and the Caribbean with this certification.
