A lightweight pre-fabricated system will be used to increase the speed of construction without requiring scaffolding. The ducts and pipes used for maintenance purposes would be beneath the building instead of the roof. The internal structure of the airport building comprises composite deck slabs and steel columns. The planned lightweight vaulted roof depends on the city’s challenging soil conditions. The outer structure clad with glazing and painted aluminium panels will be built with steel and concrete. He argued that the project was riddled with corruption and too expensive.The exterior will be made of a lightweight grid shell structure, which will envelop the roof and the terminal walls. But AMLO scrapped the plan, although the project had already consumed billions of dollars and was halfway through. The previous government had planned to build the airport in Texcoco, a place barely 5 miles away from the BJIA. Once the second phase of construction is over, it will be able to handle 40 million passengers, say analysts. Reports suggest that President Lopez Obrador may offer incentives to attract carriers to move operations to the new airport.īuilt on an abandoned military airbase, the airport is projected to handle 20 million passengers annually. The only flight scheduled for the near future is from Caracas, Venezuela.
It has no rail link, nor is there an expressway for passengers to access it easily. The new Felipe Angeles International Airport, is located more than 45 miles away from the city. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) has opened a new international airport in Mexico City amid criticisms that the new facility would not be able to ease congestion at the capital city’s main hub, Benito Juárez International Airport (BJIA).
