Banobras to operate Lechería-AIFA train line in Mexico

Mexico's National Bank of Public Works and Services (Banobras) has been officially entrusted with the operation of the Lechería-AIFA train line. The Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportes (SICT) granted Banobras the Title of Assignment, formalizing its role in managing this crucial transportation link.

Under this assignment, Banobras will oversee all aspects of the rail infrastructure. This includes the implemented and functional railway infrastructure and equipment, necessary documentation, right-of-way, terminals, intermediate stations, yards, depots, and workshops, as well as the corresponding administrative buildings. The SICT, following verification by the Agency for Integrated Train and Public Transport (ATTRAPI), will transfer these assets to Banobras.

The train service will operate the passenger route connecting Buenavista, Lechería, and the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA). This operation will be managed through FONADIN, a public trust fund (Public Trust for Administration and Payment Source No. 1936). Through FONADIN, Banobras will be responsible for the construction, operation, and exploitation of the general railway communication route corresponding to the Lechería-AIFA branch line.

This move solidifies Banobras's central role in developing and managing key infrastructure projects in Mexico. The transfer of operational control is expected to streamline the management and enhancement of the Lechería-AIFA rail corridor, improving public transportation services for passengers connecting these key locations.
