Overview
- AICM activated a temporary lot at Estadio GNP Gate 6 on Jan. 29 with 24/7 free shuttles to Terminal 2, plus free Aerotrén and inter‑terminal buses without a boarding pass.
- The remote lot charges 40 pesos per hour with a 350‑peso daily maximum and holds about 700 vehicles, easing strain while 1,552 on‑site spaces undergo remodeling.
- Aviation experts say the airport remains a bottleneck at roughly 44 operations per hour, complicating any surge in traffic expected during the World Cup period.
- Legal and industry voices urge returning AICM’s TUA resources now servicing NAIM‑related debt projected through 2047 and restoring higher slot capacity.
- Engineers advocate a deep drainage tunnel estimated at 4–5 billion pesos over two to three years, as others call for reviving a large hub at Texcoco or a comparable long‑term solution.
