Mexico's newest major airport, opened by the Mexican Air Force (SEDENA) in March 2022 on the former Santa Lucía Air Force Base, 35 km north of Mexico City, to relieve congestion at MEX; it is the primary hub of relaunched state carrier Mexicana de Aviación and a growing base for Aeroméxico, Volaris, Viva Aerobus, Aerus, Copa Airlines, and Arajet. Like MEX, it sits at high altitude (2,246 m/7,369 ft), so its two 4,500 m runways (plus a third 3,500 m runway) are sized to offset reduced density-altitude performance.
