Foster + Partners, a British architectural firm, won the contract to build the new airport. The project began outside of Mexico City, in the former Texcoco lake basin. When will Mexico City Airport receive again over 50 million passengers? How many airlines will operate in Mexico, domestically, and internationally, after the pandemic? There are too many questions out there.Therefore, the former Mexican government, under Enrique Peña Nieto, decided to build a new airport. No one currently knows how long it will take before things go back to normal. The problem is that these predictions happened when the world had no idea that a pandemic was coming over. This will allow Mexico City to have up to 80 million passengers per year if we add the 52 million at AICM and eight million at Toluca. ![]() So it is still building it.Īccording to the latest data, Santa Lucía International Airport will have an initial capacity to receive 20 million passengers a year. ![]() The Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association has also said no. Putting into aside the question of whether Santa Lucia will be a white whale (like Mirabel in Montreal or Berlin's new airport ), the doubt right now is if Mexico City needs a new airport? The International Air Transport Association has said no.
