Overview
- AICM, which finalized the change in the federal gazette Wednesday after a three‑month delay tied to missing October 2025 data, set the fee through December 31, 2026 at $30.59 for domestic trips and $58.09 for international flights.
- The update raises 2025 levels by 2.9% for domestic travel and 3% for international routes, according to the published schedule.
- Because the charge is set in U.S. dollars and converted monthly using Banco de México’s average exchange rate, the peso amount on tickets will vary from month to month.
- Airlines include the fee in the ticket price at purchase, with exemptions for children under two, eligible diplomats, transit or connection passengers under SICT rules, and on‑duty technical crew with valid licenses.
- A share of the revenue goes to a trust that services roughly $3.7 billion in bonds tied to the cancelled Texcoco airport project, linking the fee to broader public‑debt obligations.
