We can’t guarantee that this will be the biggest and baddest airport in all of the Americas, but at a minimum it’s certainly shaping up to be the most expensive.
Details were announced last week, as Mexico City is looking to bump up their operational capacity when it comes to all things airport. More planes and people comes at a cost, and that price tag will be around $9.2 billion when all said and done. Once up and running you can expect six runways to ease takeoff and landings, and around 120 million passengers could pass through the terminals each and every year.
The president of Mexico—Enrique Pena Nieto—is one of the leading
proponents of the project, as he feels this will bring some of the
economic growth to the country and region that it has been lacking.
Construction will take some time, but right now initial timelines indicate a finish line sometime toward the end of 2018 or the beginning of 2019. All in all it should quadruple capacity when compared to the area’s current airport offerings. We’ll keep an eye on this, and we’ll let you know when they announce their plans for airport dining.
