Mexico City Benito Juarez International Airport, or simply 'AICM' (Aeropuerto Internacional Ciudad de Mexico) is considered one of the busiest, and by far the largest, airport in Latin America, catering to over 24.2 million passengers per year. It is also the first Latin American airport to support the new A380 double-decker jumbo jet. A host of domestic and international airlines serve the Airport with direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. AICM iss the mainhub 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.
Two hotels are located right inside the terminals: Terminal 1 houses Hilton, Camino Real & Fiesta Inn, while Terminal 2 houses the NH Hotel.
Benito Juarez International has a domestic Terminal 1 and an international Terminal 2. As both terminals are on opposite sides of the Airport (with parallel runways in between), these two terminals are connected by a monorail system called the Aerotren; the transfer between terminals takes only 7 minutes.
Terminal 1 was renovated in 2004, has ten airside halls (A to J) and 9 checkin-in landside halls (A1, A2, B, C, D, D1, F1, F2, F3); 22 baggage carousels, 32 jetways, and 6 premium airline lounges.
Terminal 2 was opened in 2007 and has 23 jetways, two airside halls for domestic & international traffic; three landside check-in halls (L1, L2, L3); 15 baggage carousels, six premium lounges, as well as the inter-terminal Aerotren able to transport 7,800 passengers a day. Terminal 2 houses all Aeromexico flights and all SkyTeam member airlines.
Parking Garages are across from each of the two terminals and are broken down into Domestic and International areas.
16 rental car agencies offer services in Terminal 1, ground level.
