Strategic airports for the 2026 World Cup
Admiral Juan José Padilla Olmos reported that the Toluca, Mexico City, Felipe Ángeles, and Cuernavaca airports will be considered strategic during the 2026 World Cup.
In this context, the remodeling of Mexico City’s Benito Juarez International Airport was announced, with an investment of 8 billion pesos (US$390 million), coming from self-generated resources, without the need for a federal budget outlays. Work will begin between April and June 2025 and will be completed between April and May 2026. This project, which will be carried out in phases, will not affect the airport’s daily operations.
