The only way it can increase the number of passengers here is to put bigger planes, but that requires infrastructure and the airlines are not all willing to invest, and less so with the pandemic.”

“It does not solve it at all, because there is nowhere to grow the AICM. “The redesign of the airspace does not solve the congestion problem in Mexico City,” said Hernández. The Seneam official noted how, despite a redesign of Mexico City’s airspace to help flow air traffic (which will also save airlines some 600 million pesos in fuel costs), the AICM lacks the necessary physical space to build more runways, which would be necessary to increase daily landings and park more aircrafts.

The first I think will be Santa Lucía, because the Santa Lucía airport has an expansion and a reserve area to be able to grow, which the AICM does not have,” Hernández told El Financiero. “The AICM over time is set to become the country’s second airport. The controversial new Santa Lucía airport will become Mexico’s main international airport, said Víctor Hernández, director of Services to the Navigation of the Mexican Air Space (Seneam), based on its larger capacity to expand than the current Mexico City International Airport (AICM).
