Two years after its inauguration, AMLO’s AIFA is still not working as a solution to the air-travel situation in Mexico City
Nearly two years after its inauguration, AIFA reached its largest passenger register in January 2024, according to data from the air terminal administered by the Army.
AIFA received 328,906 passengers, representing a growth of 76.2 percent compared to the same month, but 2023, thus achieving its best monthly performance since it began operations.
However, this January data represents only 8.6 percent of travelers of the total received at the old Mexico City International Airport (AICM) in the same period.
