Legislator submits airports law reform bill
Business News Americas


Mexican lower house member Alonso Ulloa Veliz submitted a bill Tuesday
(Nov.5) to reform the country's airports law, which has been a source of
controversy since Mexico concessioned out airport operations in 1999,
Diario de Monterrey reported.

The bill aims to clarify the rights and obligations that airport
concessionaires have with state and municipal authorities and their
consultative committees. 

The measures would enforce rights of local authorities to carry out
their duties at airports, including state police and health officials,
Ulloa explained. 

Airport administrators would also be obliged to inform commissions about
master development plans and any modifications to them, as well as any
improvements or investments to airport properties and/or facilities. 

Mexican press this week ran reports criticizing the airport sector,
alleging that prices had gone up significantly since the concessionaires
took over, while service, both in the air and on the ground, has
suffered.
