00:01Access to Mexico City International Airport was disrupted on Wednesday after taxi drivers blocked roads leading to both terminals in
00:09protest against ride-hailing services operating around the airport.
00:15Groups of drivers gathered outside the airport demanded authorities enforce regulations they say prohibit app-based services such as Uber
00:24and Didi from operating within the federal airport zone.
00:27Passengers inside the airport continued moving through the terminals, but blocked access roads and heavy traffic caused delays for those
00:35trying to reach the facility.
00:37President of the National Transport Movement, Ignacio Rodriguez, said traditional taxi drivers were losing thousands of trips daily due to
00:46what he described as illegal services.
01:11The protest comes amid long-standing tensions between traditional taxi groups and ride-hailing companies.
01:18Demonstrators said they would continue applying pressure until authorities provide a written commitment to enforce the existing legal framework.
