 Benito Jurez Mxico City
International Airport
The Metropolitan area of Mexico City (Capital City of The United States of Mexico and
adjacent micropolitan areas of the State of Mexico) ranges a population close to 21
million, holds the most important airport of the country, which serves 35 per cent of all
aeronautic operations in the mexican territory.

With near 45 million passengers per year Mexico City is also the busiest airport in latin
america, with flights to South America, USA, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Is also one of the oldest airports in the world (1915), in fact its first civil terminal building
start operations in 1928 and since then the airport is in constant improvement, a silent
witness of the aviation history, several aircrafts from the Lincoln standard to the
concorde have landed on its runways.

Recently a new terminal 2 (T2) started operations serving AeroMxico, Continental,

Delta, Aeromar and Lan, complementing the recently renovated Terminal 1 (T1), with
the T2 addition the airport have more contact positions available and more roads have
been added to the airport network to speed up the parallel runways crossing and the
take off waiting times, however the airport flight operations are limited, the airport have
only 2 parallel runways, not suitable for simultaneous operations (less than 1000ft
between runway edges). Because this and the city proximity (that limits any expansion),
will cause the airport saturation in the decade.

This Airports of Mexico Center Edition includes a very detailed Mexico City airport with
the new T2 Terminal, the new roads, the train that connects the T1-T2 terminals and all
the buildings improvements that the airport will have until 2009.

Also this edition includes a very detailed Mexico City landscape with the main city
buildings and some historic landscapes like the Zocalo the Catedral, the Palacio de
Bellas Artes and Palacio de los Deportes, Toreo and several other buildings, do not
hesitate to experiment a VFR flight over one of the biggest cities in the world!
