Present & future

Mexico City International Airport has already reached its maximum capacity, that is why a new international airport is being built in Santa Lucía, which will be named Mexico City Santa Lucía Airport General Felipe Ángeles.

The airport will focus on low-cost and cargo airlines in order to relieve the existing congestion in MEX Airport.

Construction began in 2019 and there are planned a couple of runways and a new terminal on its first phase, expected to open by 2022.
