Mexico: Competition watchdog challenges constitutionality of new airport regulations
Mexican antitrust regulator Cofece presented a decree against the Amendments to the Regulation of the Law of Airports and the General Bases for the assignment of landing and takeoff schedules in airports in conditions of saturation.
These regulations were issued by the Chief Executive Officer and the General Director of Civil Aeronautics of the Ministry of Communications and Transportation.
Certain provisions in the Decree to Reform the Regulations and the General Principles, both issued by the Federal Executive in September of this year, are contrary to the measures provided by the Commission to remedy the anticompetitive effects generated by the mechanism for the allocation of take-off and landing slots at Mexico City’s International Airport.
•In this constitutional dispute, COFECE calls Mexico’s Supreme Court of Justice to analyze the scope of its powers to regulate an essential facility, as established in article 28 of the Constitution, and determine whether the Federal Executive has rendered nugatory this constitutional power.
