Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU)

Mexico City · Mexico

Felipe Ángeles International Airport opened in 2022 as the centerpiece of a massive federal infrastructure project, located at the former Santa Lucía Air Force Base approximately 50 km northeast of central Mexico City. The airport was conceived to relieve pressure on the congested Benito Juárez Airport and to develop the northern metropolitan region, and it has gradually attracted airlines including Viva Aerobus, Aeromar, and VivaAerobus for both domestic and international routes. Transport from the city center is provided by the Mexibús and suburban railway services, though the journey time of 1-2 hours remains a consideration for travelers choosing between the city's airports.

Mexico City International Airport (MEX)

Mexico City International Airport — formally Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez — is Latin America's busiest airport and one of the most important aviation hubs in the Americas, handling over 45 million passengers annually in two terminals located just 5 km east of the historic city center. The airport serves as the main hub for Aeroméxico and handles extensive routes across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Metro Line 5 provides a direct connection to the city center for approximately 5 pesos — one of the world's most affordable airport transit options — though taxis and rideshare services provide faster point-to-point service to the major hotel districts. The airport continues to operate alongside the newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport in Texcoco.
