Benito Juárez International Airport Renovation

under construction

Renovation works at Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport are 70% complete in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The project includes construction of new rapid exit taxiways at the end of runway 05 right and 23 left, expanded security checkpoints, boarding areas, new shops, a waiting area, immigration/customs modules, and improved taxiway lighting. Maintenance of approximately 200 hectares of green areas within the operational zone is underway, including runway leveling and installation of wind direction indicators and sound cannons to manage wildlife. Security protocols are being developed in collaboration with various Mexican security agencies and INTERPOL. The rehabilitation work does not affect airport operations, and the airport was recently ranked third in operational efficiency.
