But another worrying problem is the insecurity in the vicinity of AIFA. In fact, some importers are choosing to move their operations to the Toluca Airport for security reasons.
Specifically, the Arco Norte that connects with the AIFA, is not safe for carriers, says Rosaura Aguilar, due to the high rate of assaults that are registered on the highway and this is making certain companies doubt about moving their operations to the new airport.
Lack of time and planning
For RB Group, the moving process has very little time for both planning and implementation. And they hope that there will be an extension, because despite the fact that they, the customs agents, are ready to leave, they do not see progress in the implementation of services and infrastructure; Specifically, it is worrying for them that the tax route necessary for the dispatch and monitoring of the merchandise has not yet been defined.
Despite this, according to the CAAAREM Customs Agents issued a statement in which they expressed their willingness to comply with the decree to close cargo operations at the AICM Benito Juárez and ensure that their technological systems have been connected for six months and operating in customs office number 50 of AIFA, in coordination with ANAM and SAT.
And that, in fact, from the first operation, in December 2022, until February 3, they had already carried out 82 operations. But RB Group wonders how it was possible to dispatch these operations, given the deficiencies observed.
