Taxi drivers in Mexico City protest on Tuesday and keep blocked access to terminals 1 and 2 of the International Airport of the capital (AICM).
The AICM itself reported the situation on its Twitter account and asked users to take precautions.
Protesters block access to terminals 1 and 2 of the #AICM.
Vehicular access to T1 by Capitán Carlos León Avenue and to T2 by Mexican Air Force and Economy avenues is closed.
We recommend you anticipate your arrival at the airport.

Taxi drivers speak out against transport services by application and demand that their operation be regulated.
The service of apps such as Uber, Didi and others represents a competition for taxi drivers in the capital. Its cost is much lower than that of taxis operating on bases in the AICM.
Faced with the situation, police from the Secretariat of Citizen Security of the capital (SSC) provide support to AICM users to be able to arrive and take their flights.
As part of the personal proximity work of #TránsitoCDMX of the #SSC supports users for their transfer to Terminal 1 of the @AICM_mx, due to the presence of demonstrators in Capitán Carlos León at the height of Circuito Interior. pic.twitter.com/Dh4PHnh9ug
