Mexico City Benito Juarez MEX Airport Overview

Mexico City Benito Juarez International Airport MEX, or simply 'AICM' (Aeropuerto Internacional Ciudad de Mexico), is considered one of the busiest, and by far the largest, airport in Latin America. It is also the first Latin American airport to support the new A380 double-decker jumbo jet.

The Airport is located in Carranza, in the Gustavo A. Madero district, and is situated between Mexico City and the city of Nezahualcoyotl. The Airport is surrounded by a road system, with direct access from Av. 602, Av. Texcoco, Anillo Periferico, Via Tapo and Av. Pantitlan, and can also be accessed from the South by Federal District Hwy, and from the north by Hwy 608, connecting to Mexico City's circle road near the Airport.

With two very long runways, and an estimated 26.4 million passengers in 2011, Mexico City Benito Juarez International is the main hub for Mexico's major airline Aeromexico, and secondary hub for Aeromexico Connect. It also is a hub for the SkyTeam and for OneWorld's Mexicana and MexicanaClick. AICM is served by a host of domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.
