Facts on MEX
Did you know
Mexico City's airport sits 2,230 meters (7,320 feet) above sea level, high enough that it's classified as a 'hot and high' airport, where thinner air reduces how much aircraft engines and wings can perform.
Did you know
The airport wasn't officially named for 19th-century Mexican president Benito Juárez until December 2, 1963 — before that it was simply called 'Aeropuerto Central' (Central Airport). It first opened for service back on May 15, 1931.
Did you know
Despite carrying the most air traffic of any airport in Mexico, MEX operates with only two runways, making it one of the busiest two-runway airports in the world, handling roughly 850 aircraft movements a day.
