Slim chance of new airport

– Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador floated the possibility on Monday of having business leaders, including billionaire Carlos Slim, complete a new Mexico City airport if it gets taxpayers off the hook.

Early in his election campaign, Lopez Obrador, who takes office on December 1, opposed the $13 billion (about R195 million) airport, arguing that it had been tainted by corruption. – Reuters
