Usage notes
ICAO code MMMX. Officially Benito Juárez International Airport. At about 2,230 meters (7,300 feet), its elevation reduces aircraft performance. A huge replacement airport at Texcoco was canceled in 2018, and the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU), opened in 2022, now shares the region's traffic.
