Overview
- AICM closed 2025 with 44.5 million passengers and projects reaching near 50 million in 2026 tied to World Cup travel, with up to 5.5 million in peak months.
- Refurbishments emphasize aesthetics in Terminal 1 and new work in Terminal 2, but specialists say runway configuration and limited stands remain the binding constraints.
- Structural issues uncovered across at least 28 modules have pushed the rehabilitation budget to roughly 9 billion pesos, with works prioritized for safety.
- Short-term measures focus on better use of the added hourly “slot 44,” new automated immigration controls with 20 modules per terminal, and a Semana Santa operational test.
- Aeroméxico’s CEO has proposed a larger Terminal 3 and coordinated operations with AIFA and Toluca to lift capacity, a long-term option that has not been adopted.
