Mexico City International Airport Authorities Report 70% Completion Of Renovations Ahead Of The 2026 World Cup

Authorities at Mexico City International Airport offer a tour of the facilities to showcase the progress of renovations, which are 70% complete, in preparation for the 2026 World Cup, in Mexico City, Mexico, on April 10, 2026. The World Cup will be inaugurated in June at Banorte Stadium. The tour highlights the 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 the Mexican Navy, the Ministry of National Defense, the National Guard, the Investigative Police, the Ministry of Citizen Security, and INTERPOL. The rehabilitation work does not affect airport operations, and the airport was recently ranked third in operational efficiency. The investment for these works totals 9 billion pesos, primarily funded by Grupo CARSO and investors of Terminal 1 and 2. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
