Buenavista–AIFA Suburban Train Inauguration Delayed Again Over Safety Certification Gap

Sheinbaum confirmed at her mañanera that the flagship Buenavista–AIFA suburban train link — a 43-minute airport rail connection — is delayed indefinitely beyond its original Holy Week target of March 29, 2026, citing a missing safety certification. An April 6 target also slipped. The project, expected to be operational before the June 2026 FIFA World Cup, is a high-priority infrastructure initiative. No new opening date was provided; Sheinbaum asked Mexicana de Aviación to study direct flight options to Hermosillo as a workaround for connectivity gaps. The repeated delays have drawn criticism from opposition legislators who cite the episode as emblematic of project management weaknesses.
