Tren Suburbano Restores Service After Airport-Link Train Stalls in the Dark

Repeated glitches so soon after opening are testing confidence in the new AIFA link.

Overview

  • The operator said service returned to normal after repairs on the branch that serves Felipe Ángeles International Airport.
  • A train on the route stopped between Tlalnepantla and Fortuna for more than an hour without lights or ventilation.
  • Passengers reported breathing problems, and one window was broken to let in air.
  • Train staff announced an evacuation using an auxiliary unit as company crews worked to resolve the failure.
  • The stoppage led to long lines at stations such as Buenavista and was the second reported failure since the April 26 launch, prompting fresh criticism on social media.
