not even the Mexico City International Airport has that," said Victor Manuel Pena Chavez, an aeronautical engineering professor at the National Polytechnical Institute. "Being able to land two planes at once or have two take off at the same time. The airport should at some point have two commercial runways, public construction plans show, though only one is currently in operation. Volaris told Reuters that flight costs would be lower, though it said it was not receiving subsidies. Inside the new airport, check-in booths stood empty, even as Mexican carriers Volaris (VOLARA.MX), Aeromexico (AEROMEX.MX) and VivaAerobus as well as Venezuela's Conviasa have announced routes to and from here.Īn airport employee who works with the airlines said flights using AIFA were estimated to cost about half of those to and from the original Mexico City airport due to a lower airport usage tariff and government incentives. The AIFA has yet to appoint a spokesperson, officials told Reuters, and the Army and Mexico's Transportation Ministry had no immediate comment for this story. The AIFA estimates that it will serve 2.4 million passengers this year and double that in 2023, he said. Around 2,000 passengers use the airport a day, presidential spokesman Jesus Ramirez told Reuters. Since its opening, the AIFA has averaged around a dozen flights a day, flight records show. Of the 14 arrivals and departures confirmed at AIFA that day, compared to the close to 900 daily flights at the main Mexico City International Airport, a handful were military flights, according to flight records.
