Uber has defied a court order to continue operating at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) despite a National Guard crackdown. The airport has re-established its policy of denying ride-hailing apps and unauthorized taxis from operating on its grounds. A federal judge had previously ordered an end to "arbitrary fines and detentions" until this issue is resolved. National Guardsmen stopped and issued warnings to rideshare drivers who arrived to pick up passengers. The Transportation Ministry (SICT) issued a statement stating that Uber is not authorized to provide services within the area of Mexico City Airport and other airports. This comes as taxi drivers protest against proposed legislation that would allow ride-enhanced ride-based apps to operate on all federal properties.
