Abstract

This paper presents a brief review of the current conditions of economic competition in the sector of air travel in Mexico. So, this shows the most relevant legal framework for the sector and highlights of recent years; the document also shows the conditions of competition in the market through the analysis of concentration indices, prices, relationship between prices and market power, competition intra and inters airports and barriers to free competition. The results show a slight increase in economic concentration in the sector, however, in terms of the legislation this situation does not provide evidence that this competition process being affected. The main constraints on competition appear to be the prevailing physical barriers in the operation of the Mexico City International Airport and some aspects of current legislation.
