== History ==

=== Origins ===
The original site, known as Llanos de Balbuena, had been utilized for aeronautical activities since 1910, marking a significant milestone when Alberto Braniff became the first person to fly an airplane in Mexico and Latin America.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sandiegoairandspace.org/exhibits/mexican_american_exhibit/|title=Mexican-americans in aviation online exhibition|website=San Diego Air & Space Museum|access-date=September 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140807004709/http://www.sandiegoairandspace.org/exhibits/mexican_american_exhibit/|archive-date=August 7, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/the_americas/summary/v067/67.3.ganson.html|title=Conquistador of the Sky: A History of Aviation in Latin America|website=Project MUSE|access-date=September 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222155202/http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/the_americas/summary/v067/67.3.ganson.html|archive-date=December 22, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> This historic flight took place on board a [[Voisin 1907 biplane|Voisin biplane]]. On November 30, 1911, President [[Francisco I. Madero]] achieved another aviation first by being the world's inaugural head of state to fly in an airplane, piloted by Geo M. Dyott of Moisant International.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thecatalist.org/2010/01/570/|title=Mexico's 100 years of flying taking off to new heights!|website=The Catalist|access-date=September 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141120080122/http://thecatalist.org/2010/01/570/|archive-date=November 20, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1915, the site opened as Balbuena Military Airport, equipped with five runways.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/1171-did-you-know-the-world-s-first-aerial-bombing-the-battle-of-topolobampo-mexico|title=A brief Mexican History aviation|website=Mexconnect|access-date=September 7, 2014}}</ref> A small civilian airport was built in 1928. The first landing occurred on November 5, 1928, regular services began in 1929, and the official inauguration took place on May 15, 1931. On July 8, 1943, it gained international status, launching its initial international route to [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], operated by [[Mexicana de Aviación (1921–2010)|Mexicana de Aviación]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mexicana De Aviacion celebrates 70th anniversary |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2006/02/14/mexicana-de-aviacion-celebrates-70th-anniversary/}}</ref>

From 1949 to 1951, the airport underwent an expansion that involved the construction of a new runway, designated as 05R-23L, an [[Airport apron|apron]], a [[Air traffic control|control tower]], and administration offices. President [[Miguel Alemán Valdés|Miguel Alemán]] inaugurated a renovated passenger terminal on November 19, 1952.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://contenido.com.mx/2013/11/un-ano-mas-del-aicm/|title=One more year of Mexico City International Airport (In Spanish)|website=Contenido|access-date=September 7, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140907005210/http://contenido.com.mx/2013/11/un-ano-mas-del-aicm/|archive-date=September 7, 2014}}</ref> By 1956, the airport operated with four runways: 05L-23R ({{convert|2720|m|}}), 05R-23L ({{convert|3000|m|}}), featuring electric lights for night-time service; 13-31 ({{convert|2300|m|}}), constructed to relieve the Runway 14-32, which was too close to adjacent residential areas; and Runway 5 Auxiliary ({{convert|759|m|}}).<ref>{{Cite web |title="Breve Historia del Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México", Mexico City International Airport |url=http://www.aicm.com.mx/acercadelaicm/Archivos/BREVEHISTORIA2011.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140906085020/http://www.aicm.com.mx/acercadelaicm/Archivos/BREVEHISTORIA2011.pdf |archive-date=September 6, 2014 |access-date=September 6, 2014}}</ref>

On December 2, 1963, the airport's name changed from "''Aeropuerto Central''" (Central Airport) to "''Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México''" (Mexico City International Airport).<ref name="pilotos">{{cite web

=== Expansion and decentralization ===
[[File:JFK exiting Air Force One.jpg|thumb|President and Mrs. Kennedy disembark Air Force One at the airport, June 29, 1962.|left]]

The airport’s location in a densely populated area limited infrastructure expansion due to urban constraints. The proximity of the two parallel runways restricts fully simultaneous operations, contributing significantly to the constraint. The terminal underwent expansion on multiple occasions: in 1980, doubling its capacity with a single large terminal layout, and in 1990, separating domestic and international facilities for increased functionality. Renovations continued, and on April 11, 1994, a new International section became operational through a joint venture between [[Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares]] (ASA) and Hakim Grupo Industrial. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-09-20 |title=Hakim Grupo Industrial El caballo de |url=https://expansion.mx/expansion/2011/09/14/hakim-grupo-industrial-brel-caballo-de-hacienda |access-date=2023-12-31 |website=Expansión |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Sherman |first=Paul |date=1993-10-10 |title=TRAVEL ADVISORY; Mexico City Adds Terminal To Airport |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/10/travel/travel-advisory-mexico-city-adds-terminal-to-airport.html |access-date=2023-12-31 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

[[Mexicana de Aviación (1921–2010)|Mexicana]], a key player in the country's aviation industry, initiated a decentralization effort to alleviate congestion at the airport. This effort involved relocating numerous flights to airports in [[Guadalajara International Airport|Guadalajara]], [[Monterrey International Airport|Monterrey]], and [[Mérida International Airport|Mérida]]. In 1994, all [[general aviation]] operations were moved to [[Toluca International Airport]].<ref name="diariooficial">{{cite web

=== Congestion challenges ===
[[File:Benitojuarezarptaerial.jpg|thumb|Satellite view of the airport]]
In 2002, President [[Vicente Fox]]'s administration proposed a new {{convert|5000|ha|}} airport in [[San Salvador Atenco|Atenco]] and [[Texcoco de Mora|Texcoco]]. However, the Atenco project faced substantial opposition and controversy, especially from the [[Community Front in Defense of Land]] ({{langx|es|link=n|Frente del Pueblo en Defensa de La Tierra, FPDT}}), representing locals facing displacement. Protests escalated into violent clashes, resulting in the cancellation of the new airport.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/03/international/americas/03MEXI.html|title=Mexico drops planned airport after protests from peasants|newspaper=The New York Times|date=August 3, 2002 |access-date=September 7, 2014|last1=Thompson |first1=Ginger }}</ref>
[[File:Mexico city airport vehicle.jpg|thumb|Mobile lounge at Mexico City Airport]]
In response, the federal government in 2003 announced an extension to the existing terminal, expanding its service capacity from 20 million to 32 million passengers annually. The expansion covered {{convert|90000|m2|}}, with {{convert|48000|m2|}} as new construction and {{convert|42000|m2|}} as renovated areas. Renovations included new check-in areas, commercial spaces, a new departures concourse, and the construction of a long-distance bus terminal. The bus station provided access to a food court, the international arrivals and departures area, and a pedestrian bridge connecting to "The Peñón de los Baños" neighborhood.

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, political initiatives aimed at establishing nearby airports such as [[Puebla International Airport|Puebla]], [[Toluca International Airport|Toluca]], [[Cuernavaca Airport|Cuernavaca]], and [[Querétaro Intercontinental Airport|Querétaro]] as supplementary options for serving the Mexico City Area were introduced. This initiative, known as the Metropolitan Airport System, was promoted by the Federal Administration.

On November 15, 2007, Terminal 2 was inaugurated, significantly increasing the airport's capacity. All [[SkyTeam]] members, except [[Air France]] and [[KLM]], relocated their operations to the new terminal. Officially opened in March 2008, Terminal 2 expanded the number of gates by 40% and operational capacity by 15%. The inauguration ceremony was led by President [[Felipe Calderón]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2007-11-16-mexico-city-airport_N.htm|title=Mexico City inaugurates new airport terminal|newspaper=USA Today|access-date=September 7, 2014}}</ref>[[File:20150719 Boeing 747 PH-BFD KLM MEX IMG 7995 by sebaso.jpg|thumb|Image showing the physical constraints of the airport]]

The airport is located in the neighborhood of Peñón de los Baños within [[Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City|Venustiano Carranza]], one of the [[Boroughs of Mexico City|sixteen boroughs]] of Mexico City, situated {{convert|5|km|}} east of [[Historic center of Mexico City|Downtown Mexico City]]. Surrounded by the built-up areas of [[Gustavo A. Madero, Mexico City|Gustavo A. Madero]] borough to the north and [[Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City|Venustiano Carranza]] borough to the west, south, and east, the airport's [[Runway|runways]], running southwest–northeast, contribute to overflying problems and noise pollution over Mexico City during landings with a northeast wind.<ref>{{cite web |title=Unplanned airport planning in Mexico City |url=https://www.academia.edu/2575234 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140908164515/http://www.academia.edu/2575234/The_dark_side_of_aeromobilities_Unplanned_airport_planning_in_Mexico_City |archive-date=September 8, 2014 |access-date=September 8, 2014 |website=Academia Education}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Disgruntled neighbours by noise pollution in Mexico City |url=http://mexico.quadratin.com.mx/Se-quejan-vecinos-de-Interlomas-por-ruido-de-aviones/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140908223231/http://mexico.quadratin.com.mx/Se-quejan-vecinos-de-Interlomas-por-ruido-de-aviones/ |archive-date=September 8, 2014 |access-date=September 8, 2014 |website=Quadratin}}</ref>

Being a [[Hot and high|hot and high airport]] at an [[elevation]] of {{convert|2230|m|}} above [[sea level]], aircraft departing or arriving suffer from degraded performance due to the thinner air at such a high elevation. The field itself spans {{convert|747|ha|}}, featuring two parallel runways, less than {{convert|300|m|}} apart, hindering simultaneous operations. Runway 05L/23R is {{convert|3900|m|}} long, and runway 05R/23L is {{convert|3950|m|}} long. North of the airfield houses Terminal 1, cargo facilities, maintenance [[Hangar|hangars]], and administration buildings. On its northern edge, [[Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares]] (ASA), a government-owned corporation, has its headquarters.<ref>{{cite web |title=ASA's address |url=http://www.asa.gob.mx |access-date=September 6, 2014 |website=Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares}}</ref><ref>Retrieved on December 20, 2011. "Av.602 No.161 Col.Zona Federal Aeropuerto Internacional Ciudad de México Delegación Venustiano Carranza, C.P.15620, México D.F."</ref> South of the airfield, there is Terminal 2, maintenance hangars, police and Mexican Airspace Navigation Services facilities, and a military complex.

'''[[Mexican Air Force|Air Force Base]] No. 19''' ({{langx|es|Base Aérea Militar No. 19 Ciudad de México}}) '''(B.A.M. 19)''' is located on the airport grounds, adjacent to Terminal 2. It serves as the home for the High Command Special Air Transport Unit (UETAAM) managing a diverse fleet of aircraft that includes the [[Boeing 737]], IAI 201, JetStar, [[Beechcraft King Air|King Air]], [[Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma|SA 330J]], and [[Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk|UH-60 Black Hawk]]. It also hosts the General Coordination of the Presidential Air Transport Unit. B.A.M. 19 features an apron and several hangars, one of which is called the Presidential Hangar, used for receiving state visits and presidential travels.<ref>{{cite web |date=22 July 2020 |title=Estrenan Base Aérea Militar con regreso del Avión Presidencial |url=https://www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/estrenan-base-aerea-militar-con-regreso-del-avion-presidencial/1395240 |access-date=July 23, 2020 |website=Excélsior |language=es}}</ref> In addition to these, it includes administrative buildings and various other facilities for accommodating Air Force personnel.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bases Aéreas.

'''Mexico City Area Control Center''' (ACC) is one of four [[Area Control Center|Area Control Centres]] in Mexico, with the others being the [[Mazatlán International Airport|Mazatlán ACC]], [[Monterrey International Airport|Monterrey ACC]], and [[Mérida International Airport|Mérida ACC]]. It operates under the Mexican Airspace Navigation Services, ({{langx|es|link=yes|Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano}}). Mexico ACC provides air traffic control services to aircraft within the Mexico Flight Data Region (FDRG). This region includes the central portion of Mexico. It shares boundaries with six other Area Control Centers. To the north, it is adjacent to the [[Monterrey International Airport|Monterrey ACC]], while to the east, it borders the Merida ACC. To the west, it borders the Mazatlán ACC, and to the south, it borders the Mazatlán Oceanic (MMFO).

The airport features 95 [[Hardstand|hardstands]] for [[aircraft]], with 63 connected via [[Jet bridge|jet bridges]] to the terminals (33 in Terminal 1 and 30 in Terminal 2) and 32 remote stands. With an average of 1,056 daily operations, it has one of the highest numbers for any two-runway airport globally.

=== Terminal 1 ===
Terminal 1, operational since 1958, has undergone several expansions, with significant upgrades in 1970, 1989, 1998, 2000, and 2004, resulting in a total surface area of {{convert|542000|m2|}}. The terminal is an {{convert|800|m|}} long, two-story building, with international services located in the eastern section and domestic services in the west. The ground floor accommodates all arrival facilities, including 22 baggage claim carousels, as well as domestic check-in areas for [[Volaris]], [[Viva (airline)|Viva]], and [[Magnicharters]] (A1, A2, B, C, D, D1), as well as a commercial corridor along the street hosting snack kiosks, banks, souvenir shops and car rental services.

[[File:Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México - Terminal 2 - Área de Salidas.jpg|thumb|Terminal 2 departures concourse]]
[[File:Mexico City International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México) Feb 2021.jpg|thumb|Terminal 2 Check-in hall]]
Operations at Terminal 2 commenced on November 15, 2007, with inaugural flights by [[Delta Air Lines]], followed by [[Aeroméxico]], [[Copa Airlines|Copa]], [[LATAM Airlines|LAN]], and [[Continental Airlines]]. Former President Felipe Calderón formally inaugurated Terminal 2 on March 26, 2008. Despite the initial plan for all [[SkyTeam]] member airlines to use the terminal, [[Air France]] and [[KLM]] opted to remain at Terminal 1. Currently, Terminal 2 serves as the main hub for Aeromexico. Due to capacity constraints at Terminal 2, some of Aeromexico's domestic services temporarily operated from Terminal 1 between 2021 and 2023.<ref name="terminal1">{{cite web|title=AICM cancels Aeromexico’s operations at T1|url=https://mexico-now.com/aicm-cancels-aeromexicos-operations-at-t1/|accessdate=October 31, 2024|date=August 3, 2023|website=MexicoNow}}</ref>

The terminal spans a total surface area of {{convert|288000|m2|}}. Arrivals are handled on the lower level, featuring 15 baggage claim carousels, customs and immigration facilities, and an arrivals hall with a long-distance bus terminal. The upper level includes three check-in areas (L1-L3), two security checkpoints, and a main concourse connected to three piers. A mezzanine houses VIP lounges and administrative offices.

Three piers contain food courts, duty-free shops, and 30 gates (numbered 52 to 81), all equipped with jetbridges. The northern pier hosts gates 52-62, and the southern pier has gates 63-75. In 2020, the terminal underwent its only expansion with the inauguration of Pier L, a new infrastructure located at the southern end, adjacent to the airport's boundary with Boulevard Fuerza Aérea Mexicana.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Entra en operaciones el Dedo "L" de la T2 del AICM |url=https://www.gob.mx/sct/articulos/entra-en-operaciones-el-dedo-l-de-la-t2-del-aicm?idiom=es}}</ref> Gates 75 to 81, dedicated to serving [[Aeroméxico Connect|Aeromexico Connect]] services with narrow-body aircraft, are situated here. Due to the building's narrowness, it lacks commercial amenities. Additionally, there are 10 remote positions accessible via bus.

Terminal 2 provides passengers access to various VIP lounges, including [[HSBC]] Premier Lounge, by HSBC, Salón Beyond by Citibanamex, Salón Centurión by American Express, Salón Premier Nacional by Aeroméxico, Salón Premier Internacional by Aeroméxico, Terraza Premier by [[Heineken]] and Aeroméxico, and VIPort Lounge. Furthermore, hotel services are available, including a 287-room [[NH Hotel Group|NH Hotel]], and izZzleep Hotel Terminal 2. The parking facilities accommodate 3,000 vehicles.

Airlines serving Terminal 2 include [[Aeroméxico]], [[Aeroméxico Connect]], [[Copa Airlines]], [[Delta Air Lines]], [[LATAM Airlines Brasil|LATAM Brasil]], [[LATAM Airlines|LATAM Chile]], and [[LATAM Perú]].

=== Inter-terminal transportation ===
The distance between the two terminals is {{convert|3|km|}}. Passengers have two landside transportation options: A bus shuttle service named "inter-terminal transportation" connects Terminal 1 (entrance 6) and Terminal 2 (entrance 4).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Terminals Mexico City Benito Juarez Airport |url=https://www.mexico-airport.com/terminals.php |website=mexico-airport.com}}</ref> The ''[[Aerotrén]]'' [[people mover]] system, available to passengers with a boarding pass and airline crew, operates at {{convert|45|km/h|}} and has a daily capacity of 7,800 passengers.

=== Terminal 3 (proposed) ===
The intended construction of Terminal 3 faced cancellation amid the global [[COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2020. The recovery of flight numbers to 2019 levels is anticipated to take several years. Furthermore, the opening of the [[Felipe Ángeles International Airport|Felipe Ángeles Airport]] in Mexico State in 2022 may pose challenges for the Mexico City Airport in achieving pre-pandemic levels.<ref name="suspensión1" />

== Airlines and destinations ==
=== Passenger ===
The airport connects 50 domestic and 64 international destinations in Latin America, North America, Europe and Asia. [[Aeromexico]] serves the largest number of cities from any Latin American hub (80), 46 domestic and 34 international.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/aeromexico-the-airline-serving-the-largest-number-of-cities-from-a-hub-in-latin-america-300158276.html|title=Aeromexico, The Airline Serving The Largest Number Of Cities From A Hub In Latin America|last=Aeromexico|website=www.prnewswire.com}}</ref> It also operates the most departures and most destinations from the airport followed by [[Volaris]].

* On December 12, 1981, a bomb exploded inside the passenger cabin of a parked [[Aeronica]] [[Boeing 727-100]], tearing a hole into the fuselage. The captain, two flight attendants, and a groundworker were injured.

A woman died later due to a heart attack.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2004/07/24/045n1soc.php?origen=soc-jus.php&fly=2|title=XA-BCS Accident description (in Spanish)|website=La Jornada|access-date=September 4, 2014}}</ref>
