MEXICO CITY, Mexico — Mexico on Monday opened a new international airport serving the capital — a flagship project of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador — but so far many airlines are hesitant to use it.Felipe Angeles International Airport, built at a military air base north of Mexico City, began operating with a domestic Aeromexico flight bound for Villahermosa in Lopez Obrador’s home state of Tabasco.
So far only three national airlines — Volaris, Viva Aerobus and Aeromexico — as well as Venezuela’s Conviasa have agreed to operate a limited number of mostly domestic flights from Felipe Angeles. Benito Juarez, which handled a record 50.3 million passengers in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic, is one of the busiest airports in Latin America.
A planned rail link to connect the airport with the capital’s suburban train network is not scheduled to be completed until the second half of 2023.After taking office in 2018, Lopez Obrador canceled another airport project launched by the previous government that was already one-third complete.
