The atmosphere at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) has become increasingly tense, as employees express their dissatisfaction regarding treatment by management. Complaints center on Admiral Padilla and the culture of complicity surrounding the handling of employee benefits. Recently, it was revealed that the vacation bonus paid by the management was only a fraction—36%—of what employees were supposed to receive, leading to an outcry among workers who feel betrayed by previous assurances regarding their rights and benefits.

Moreover, the claim that the lower payment was due to a merger involving Grupo Aeroportuario Marina and AICM, where policies were purportedly changed, has added to the frustrations. This has raised questions about management's commitment to protect employee rights as declared by Admiral Padilla in past communications, including written confirmations. The employees feel that their trust has been breached, and this sentiment is only amplified by the perceived inaction of oversight authorities, such as the secretary of Marina, who many blame for allowing such abuses to persist.

Furthermore, a notable figure, Dr. Luis Antonio Aragón Lozano, who has dedicated 53 years to AICM and is an expert in operational control, is also a subject of concern. His experience underscores the depth of commitment to the airport’s operations; however, the atmosphere has become so discouraging that seasoned workers are questioning their future. The current situation at AICM not only illustrates issues of labor rights but also reflects broader concerns regarding accountability and governance in Mexican public institutions.
