The (, the capital of Mexico . Although it has no official name, it is colloquially named after the 19th Century statesman Benito Juárez and is Mexico's main international and domestic gateway. This airport offers direct flights to more than 300 destinations worldwide.
Juárez International is Latin America 's busiest airport, and is one of the 30 most important airports worldwide in terms of passengers, operations, and cargo.
Plans to build a second, auxiliary airport in either Texcoco ( Mexico State ) or Tizayuca ( Hidalgo ) were floated by the government in 2001 – 02 , but these were later shelved due to resistance from local farmers dissatisfied with the price offered for their land. Because of this, the AICM (Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México) is undergoing major construction work, including new concourses in the Terminal 1 and 1-E, and two new terminals, the Terminal 2, and Terminal 3, these to handle up to 15 million passengers more per year, up from 29 million currently.
On November 28 , 2004 , the '' Arizona Republic ,'' a U.S. newspaper, published an article saying that it was remarkable that, after the September 11 Terrorist Attacks , Benito Juárez International Airport kept its Plane Spotting area open to the public, whereas a large number of airports worldwide had decided to close theirs. The Republic estimated that about 300 viewers and 100 Model Airplane and Food sellers are attracted to the area every day. The airport's director told the newspaper that they had decided to leave the area open because it offered a free way of spending the day to poor families.
Early in 2005, Qantas , Singapore Airlines and China Airlines , among others, announced interest in opening routes to Benito Juárez International Airport from Australia and Asia . While Mexicana is studying the possibility of launching flights Mexico City - Tijuana - Tokyo / Bangkok / Shanghai / Hong Kong / Singapore with Airbus A340-500 aircraft.
Mexico City International Airport, is one of the few airports with a specific concourse designated as a Skyteam exclusive facility.
