The AIFA operator indicated that it is contemplated that by 2022 it will reach 2.4 million passengers, in a joint effort to offer better conditions and to reduce saturation in the AICM.

During his “mañanera” that took place at the new airport, AMLO announced that the Mexico-Pachuca highway has already been expanded to eight lanes to reach the Felipe Ángeles Airport safely and quickly.

The first Aeroméxico flight took off from the Felipe Ángeles International Airport with 89 passengers heading to Villahermosa, Tabasco.

For Monday, March 21, 2022, eight AIFA flights are scheduled, seven within the country and one international to Caracas, Venezuela.
