On March 11, taxi drivers with permits to operate at the Mexico City International Airport initiated blockades to express their discontent with the competition posed by ride-sharing apps. Members of the organization 'Nueva Imagen' positioned themselves at nearby roadways before taking control of access points to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, as previously announced. This action aims to highlight their grievances and disrupt the operations of app-based counterparts.

Following the onset of the protests, the Secretariat of Citizen Security deployed officers to the area to establish a cordon and manage the situation. Their presence led to heated exchanges and physical confrontations between the protesting taxi drivers and police officials. The protests not only highlight the growing tension between traditional taxi services and the rise of ride-sharing platforms but also raise questions about regulatory oversight in the transportation sector.

Motorists seeking to reach AICM faced significant disruptions due to the demonstrations affecting key roadways, including Circuito Interior and Avenida Capitán Carlos León, which connect to Terminal 1. As a response to the blockades, alternative routes were suggested, including the use of the Heriberto Castillo interchange, aiming to alleviate traffic congestion and provide smoother access as the situation unfolds.
