Uber has announced that a federal court in Mexico has ruled in its favor, mandating the National Guard to cease sanctions against drivers using its platform to pick up or drop off passengers at airports. This decision stems from an amparo lawsuit filed by Uber last year, which challenged the legality of actions taken against its drivers by local authorities. The company argues that these actions are arbitrary and discriminatory, impacting its business and the ability of its drivers to serve customers at key transportation hubs.

In a press release, Uber emphasized the importance of complying with this judicial order, highlighting the need for federal authorities to respect the ruling. The company referenced a specific court case, Amparo 1202/2025, which provided a judicial suspension against the enforcement of fines and detentions of vehicles associated with the app. This legal backing allows Uber to push back against any continued attempts by local taxi drivers to undermine its operations at airports, where competition between traditional taxis and ride-sharing services has intensified.

The timing of Uber's announcement comes amid tensions with local taxi drivers, specifically the Nueva Imagen organization, which has been vocal about protecting their market share in airport transportation. This conflict underscores the ongoing battle between ride-sharing companies and traditional taxi services in Mexico, as regulatory environments and consumer preferences continue to evolve. The outcome of this situation could have broader implications for ride-sharing policies across the country, influencing how such companies operate in the future.
