Operating hoursH24; no formal curfew, but a government-imposed operations cap limits scheduling due to high-altitude performance constraints and the dual-runway layout — capacity was cut from a historical peak of ~61 operations/hour to 52, then to 43/hour in Jan 2023 for runway-safety reasons, and was raised again to 46/hour in spring 2026 (new rapid-exit taxiways on 05R) ahead of the FIFA World Cup
TerminalsTwo terminals: T1 (domestic and most international flights, piers A-D) and T2 (Aeroméxico/SkyTeam hub operations), linked by the free automated Aerotrén people-mover; domestic jet fuel is marketed locally by PEMEX/BP under the brand name Turbosina (Jet A-1 spec).
Runways (2)
- 05L/23R · 3,952 m / 12,966 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS CAT II
- 05R/23L · 3,900 m / 12,795 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS CAT II
Aeroméxico's principal hub and Mexico's busiest airport by far, serving nearly all major Latin American, US, and transatlantic carriers (Volaris, Viva, Delta, American, United, Copa, Avianca, LATAM, Iberia, Air France and more); one of the highest-elevation large hub airports in the world (2,230 m/7,316 ft), which materially reduces aircraft payload/range performance and requires long runways. Chronically capacity-constrained — operations were capped at 43/hour in 2023 (later eased to 46/hour in 2026 for the FIFA World Cup) — which also drove construction of the new AIFA (Felipe Ángeles) airport north of the city and a government-mandated shift of some cargo and low-cost domestic traffic away from MEX since 2023.

Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA)
ASA, the federal state agency, is the historical Turbosina (Jet A-1) supplier at AICM, operating fuel storage tanks and into-plane delivery infrastructure. It lost roughly half its national market share to private suppliers after the 2013-era energy reform, but Mexican government and press reporting from mid-2025 shows it rebounded to about 97% of the national turbosina market, retaking its position as the dominant supplier.
