Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport MEX
Mexico City, Mexico · Large airport · ICAO MMMX
At around 2,230 m elevation, thin air means longer takeoff runs and reduced payloads on hot days — a real constraint on long-haul routes. Terminals 1 and 2 are not connected airside; transferring between them means leaving security.
