As a Tourist Influx Makes Prices Soar, Hundreds Protest in Mexico City

Protests in Mexico City against a surge in tourism and rising prices turned violent on Friday night, damaging over a dozen businesses and drawing condemnation from officials. The demonstration reflected the growing frustrations of many of the capital's residents, who have watched rents skyrocket and old neighborhoods turn into swanky developments as the city has become a major tourist destination and a base for many so-called digital nomads. The protest also prompted criticism from some officials, who denounced the violence and what they said were the protests' nativist bent. The protest was initially peaceful. Hundreds of people marched through the streets, carrying signs sporting messages like, 'Your new home is an invasion,' 'We shouldn't feel like foreigners in our own land,' and 'Expat = gentrifier,' photos and videos of the protests showed. It turned violent when a small group of protesters began smashing the windows of storefronts, including a Starbucks and a bank, and graffiting walls and ransacking stores in the high-end neighborhoods of Condesa and Roma, according to The Associated Press. Fifteen businesses were affected and some cars were vandalized in the protests, Mexico City's government secretary, César Cravioto, said in an interview with Milenio, a Mexican news outlet. He urged an end to violent marches with 'xenophobic' messages, saying that Mexico City 'is a city of migrants,' and that the city's government does not agree with 'this type of demonstration.' In a statement, the governor of Mexico City, Carla Brugada, recognized the problems gentrification has caused, saying her administration was working to bolster affordable housing. 'Mexico City does not agree with gentrification,' she said. 'We know that gentrification can exclude those who have lived all their lives in their neighborhoods.' But she also denounced the violence, arguing that the campaign against gentrification should not become an excuse for discrimination or 'xenophobic expression against migrants.' Since the coronavirus pandemic, stylish neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa in Mexico City have seen an influx of foreigners, coaxed by lower living costs and the opportunity to work remotely. The surge has helped businesses in areas popular with foreigners and landlords or those renting rooms on long-term stays on platforms like Airbnb. But it has also threatened to make large swaths of the city, where the average monthly salary is about $370, unaffordable to many locals. Some protesters had likened the influx of Americans and Europeans to a modern form of colonialism, with Frente Anti Gentrificación Mx, one of the grass roots groups that organized the demonstration, calling on people to protest against 'American imperialism' in a post on social media. The group said on social media before the demonstration that gentrification amounted to 'a silent expulsion.' The demonstration in Mexico City is part of a broader movement against mass tourism that has cropped up in increasingly unaffordable cities around the world, including a recent wave of protests in Italy, Portugal and Spain.

Onboard IndiGo's Long-Haul Debut: The Start of a Global Ramp-Up

IndiGo is making a bold pivot from budget regional dominance to global player. Its 'fit-for-purpose' approach may not rival full-service carriers yet, but its pricing and partnerships could redefine value on Indo-Europe routes. Earlier this week, IndiGo turned a new page in its almost 19-year history. On July 1, its first long-haul flight established connectivity between Mumbai and Manchester. The next day, it touched down in continental Europe, flying from Mumbai to Amsterdam for the first time. The carrier will now operate on alternate days between the two routes, three times weekly. Don't be fooled by the modest start – something much bigger is in the works. IndiGo has been plotting global dominance for some time. Rahul Bhatia – CEO of parent company InterGlobe – brought former KLM chief Pieter Elbers on board in 2022. The brief was to lead the organization in its shift from a domestic and regional carrier to a true long-haul operator. The airline has ordered more than 60 Airbus A321 XLR aircraft, which are scheduled to join the fleet later this year. It also ordered 30 widebody A350-900s in 2024, later doubling the order to 60 jets. But these plans go beyond planes. Last year, the airline launched a series of initiatives including a loyalty program and a domestic business class product. IndiGo has also confirmed that the upcoming XLRs will have 12 factory-fitted business class seats on board. Already India's largest airline, IndiGo was not going to wait for 2027 to enter its widebody long-haul flying era. The carrier gained familiarization with larger aircraft through a leasing deal with Turkish Airlines. The Boeing 777s have a dense configuration with just seven business class seats and an incredible 531 economy class seats. IndiGo has now contracted Norse Atlantic Airways to wet-lease six of their Boeing 787-9 aircraft for up to 18 months. The first arrived in February and was flown on the busy route between Delhi and Bangkok for three months. As of this week, the aircraft are being put to better use on European services. Shaking off its No Frills Roots With the introduction of Dreamliner jets, IndiGo comes closer to a full-service airline. It is offering a new product and service offerings on these intercontinental flights, which are a taste of what passengers can expect when the A350s arrive. Elbers has been vocal that the onboard product needs to be 'fit-for-purpose' and not just a copy of whatever already exists. This was apparent at the launch of the domestic IndiGo Stretch product, where the airline offers no lounge access or hot meals, which it feels are unnecessary for short-haul flights. IndiGo now has a different mindset at play. Still anchored in its 'fit-for-purpose' mentality, the airline decided to offer hot meals on board its new long-haul flights. The airline is also integrating with Delta, Virgin Atlantic, and Air France-KLM to offer easy transfers in the UK and the Netherlands. The goal is to provide passengers with straightforward connections into the U.S. and around Europe. A comprehensive codeshare deal is expected to go live shortly. More Perks Than Expected? The generous nature of its 'value-for-money' IndiGo Stretch product has surprised some. The Norse Atlantic aircraft only have recliner seats, but these come with a generous seat pitch. In practice, this allows IndiGo to offer something closer to business class, albeit without the lie-flat beds. The airline has 56 seats in the 787's Stretch cabin. IndiGo's premium cabin on the leased Boeing 787. credit: ajay awtaney IndiGo is also offering lounge access at both ends of the route – unusual for a carrier known for strict cost control, these upgrades signal a willingness to compete on comfort as well as price. Premium customers also have a large baggage allowance that mirrors legacy business class, and over 200 hours of in-flight entertainment. There are five meal choices (two international, two Indian, and one vegan) for Stretch customers, and unlimited beverages (including alcohol). Elbers confirmed that the airline won't be offering champagne and caviar, but the airline's catering, outsourced to Oberoi Flight Services, clearly punches above its weight. Elsewhere, there are no amenity kits, but there is an 'amenities basket', which features dental kits and compression socks. A plush pillow, with a map of the globe and a blue dot marking IndiGo's headquarters in Delhi NCR, is also available for Stretch passengers. IndiGo's long-haul premium product offers a range of legacy-style perks. credit: Ajay Awtaney In a nod to Elbers' KLM days, the airline is also offering warm overlays that it allows passengers to take away with them and reuse. There are 18 designs available, with customers encouraged to collect them all, just like KLM does with ceramic Delft houses. Further back on the aircraft, IndiGo is offering economy passengers two hot meals. Alcoholic drinks and the overlays are available for purchase. The airline is currently pricing its European flights around 30% cheaper than comparable one-stop options via the Middle East. There is no direct competition on the Mumbai to Manchester route, but KLM operates to Amsterdam. What's Ahead: U.S. Routes and A350 Intrigue When asked if this was the final product definition that would be mirrored on the new A350s, Elbers insisted this was not the case. He declined to elaborate further, but it leaves open the possibility that IndiGo may consider a three-cabin setup, with economy, premium economy, and business class. IndiGo representatives onboard the inaugural flight suggested to Skift that the airline will eventually look beyond Europe and is considering flights to the United States. Occupancy was low on the first flights, but IndiGo is not so worried. It knows that a new route can take time to warm up, especially since travel to Europe usually involves visas. The airline has already confirmed that bookings look stronger in the coming weeks, and as it plugs into its strategic tie-up with transatlantic partners such as Delta and KLM, a further lift is expected. While IndiGo's initial European routes do not directly challenge Air India's network, it remains to be seen how many people will switch from a legacy full-service product to a slightly lesser offering, in exchange for lower fares. Air India operates flights between Delhi (rather than Mumbai) and Amsterdam with the Boeing 787. However, this aircraft has seen its issues with common reports of non-functioning entertainment screens and an outdated cabin. As is customary for a legacy carrier, Air India offers a full package of meals and comfortable seats, but it doesn't offer the low fares found at IndiGo. It remains to be seen how the Middle Eastern carriers will react to the entry of IndiGo, and if the ambitious Indian operator will be able to chip away traffic as its network ramps up. Watch Pieter Elbers at the Skift India Forum 2025: recorded march 2025. What am I looking at? The performance of airline sector stocks within the ST200.

Climate, Anti-Wealth Groups Fail To Stymie Demand For Private Jets

Efforts by climate and anti-wealth campaigners to hold back demand for private jet flights are failing, at least so far in 2025. Despite efforts by more countries to impose taxes on private jet flights (as well as first- and business-class tickets on airlines), demand for private jet flights increased during the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. WingX data shows that worldwide private jet segments increased by 3% through June, resulting in more than 1.8 million departures. And it wasn't just jets. Turboprops flew over an additional one million flights, a 2% year-over-year increase. The gains come after two years of slight decline after Covid-led demand peaked in 2022. So far in 2025, only two weeks have seen a year-over-year dip, including Week 1. Since then, the industry has experienced increases in 22 weeks, with two weeks showing no change. In the U.S., the largest market for private aviation, departures increased by 3.6%, and flight hours rose 3.4% year-over-year, according to WingX. All the major cabin-size categories saw gains (only entry-level jets and VIP airliner jets saw dips). Light jets, the largest segment of the industry (26.5% of departures in H1), saw a 3.5% year-over-year increase, although flight hours were only up 2.7%, indicating more short hops. The ability to fly nonstop and avoid connecting via hubs, as well as the convenience of flying instead of taking long drives, are among the top reasons users choose private flights, according to research by Private Jet Card Comparisons. However, it wasn't just above short hops. Ultra-long-range jets, which can fly 12 hours or more nonstop, saw a 5.3% increase in segments, tied with super-light jets for the biggest year-over-year gain. Even in Europe, where groups regularly target private jet users with protests at airports, the segment increased by 0.3% year-over-year. France, Europe's largest market for private aviation, saw a 1.1% increase in demand despite efforts to increase taxes on charter flights. Among the 10 largest markets, Spain led the way with a 5.3% year-over-year gain, while Italy (+3.8%), Sweden (+0.7%), and the United Kingdom (+0.7%) all saw year-over-year increases in private jet flights. What's more, the industry appears bullish on itself. NetJets took delivery of its first two Embraer Phenom 500s. It has options for up to 250 midsize jets, in addition to options and orders for over 1,500 more private jets from Textron Aviation and Bombardier. A mystery buyer placed a firm order with Bombardier for 50 jets. The Canadian manufacturer stated that it is a first-time customer, ruling out the three most prominent players – NetJets, Flexjet, and Vista Global – and indicating that it could be a new entrant. The order, which includes options for 70 more jets, is initially valued at $1.7 billion and could range to over $4 billion. Bombardier only manufactures super-midsize, large, and ultra-long-haul private jets, all with stand-up cabins across its Challenger and Global lines, meaning whoever is behind the order is seeking to play in the premium, long-haul segment of the market. That follows a record order by Flexjet with Embraer earlier this year that will see it double its fleet to over 600 aircraft by early next decade. NetJets expects to take delivery of approximately 90 new jets this year, according to company executives. The unit of Berkshire Hathaway, which offers fractional ownership programs, said the airplanes it received were sold to customers before their arrival. While concerns about tariffs and trade wars persist, Q1 pre-owned private jet transactions among members of the International Aircraft Dealers Association increased by 24%. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association, which tracks deliveries of new private aircraft, has an 11% year-over-year increase in business jet deliveries in Q1, however, that trailed the increase for turboprop deliveries, which were up 23.1% year-over-year. Bonus depreciation, part of the Big Beautifull Bill, passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Donald J. Trump, which applies to private jets used for business, is expected to add froth to the market.
