Mexico Opens Talks With Uber, DiDi and inDrive on Airport Rules Before World Cup

The negotiations signal a push to set clear ground transport rules at federal airports before a surge of visitors.

Overview

  • Ride-hailing companies grouped as Alianza In México said they began formal talks with federal officials to define how app-based pickups and drop-offs will work at airports.
  • Industry statements and coverage name the transport and interior ministries, SICT and Segob, as participants in the meetings to craft a national operating scheme.
  • The platforms say the plan aims to protect user choice and allow drivers to work in airport zones with defined pickup points, stronger safety steps and better access for people with limited mobility.
  • Active enforcement still clouds operations at Mexico City’s airport, where the National Guard continues detaining app drivers despite a court order that allows trips to and from the terminals.
  • Airport taxi concessions resist opening access to apps, and a separate Uber–MX Taxi tie-up drew a warning from Mexico City’s mobility agency that no official framework exists and fines may apply, underscoring the legal gray area.
