AICM Opens New 80‑Space Lot at Terminal 2, Raising Capacity to 3,000

The addition is part of an 8,000 million‑peso federal modernization to ease vehicle congestion ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Overview

  • The airport put the new 80‑space parking area into operation on Sunday, May 24, bringing Terminal 2’s available parking to 3,000 spaces.
  • The lot is on the ground level of the terminal’s external roundabout and links to the building by a covered, illuminated walkway with onsite security and CCTV.
  • Officials say the work is part of a broader AICM modernization coordinated with Grupo Aeroportuario Marina and backed by an 8,000 million‑peso federal investment announced in January.
  • The new permanent lot adds to a temporary 650‑space facility opened in March to replace capacity lost to construction and to help keep daily airport operations running during renovation.
  • With Mexico City set to host the World Cup opening match on June 11 and authorities expecting roughly 5.5 million visitors, the upgrades aim to cut vehicle bottlenecks while additional works and traffic measures continue through the tournament.
