Overview
- The episode began when Aeroméxico crew removed several passengers judged to be a safety risk from a flight to Miami, with images placing the incident near gate 65 for flight AM428 on Wednesday.
- Video recordings show the confrontation moving from the aircraft into Terminal 2's waiting area, where passengers exchanged blows with airline and airport staff and security agents restrained several people.
- The AICM said it immediately activated security protocols and requested that authorities present the individuals before the airport's Juzgado Cívico for administrative review.
- Multiple outlets reported the removed passengers were allegedly intoxicated and that one person caused damage inside the cabin, facts that the crew cited when ordering the removals.
- The widely shared videos have focused public attention on in‑terminal safety and on how AICM and airlines enforce Mexico's Civil Aviation rules, with legal outcomes and any formal sanctions still pending.
