Benito Juarez International Airport

Benito Juárez International Airport (IATA Airport Code: MEX), named after the 19th century Mexican statesman Benito Juárez, is Mexico's main international and domestic gateway.

Benito Juárez International is in Mexico City, Mexico.

Plans to relocate the airport to either Texcoco (EdoMex) or Tizayuca (Hidalgo) were floated by the government under President Vicente Fox in 2001-02, but these were later shelved due to resistance from local farmers dissatisfied with the price offered for their land.

In 1979, a Western Airlines DC-10 plane coming in from Los Angeles crash landed in the airport, killing all but 15 of the 150 passengers on that flight. More accurate information about aviation disasters can be found in the external links.

Currently, this airport is undergoing major terminal enlargement works.
