Limitations on Mexican Flights

16 Billion spent on the canceled new airport that was 5km away from Benito Juarez. Now it's under water. Nobody wants to use the military airport, Felipe Angeles, that is 50km away with no trains, no highways, no uber, no planning. Of course, if you fly direct from Houston, Dallas or Phoenix, then you are at the mercy of customs extortionists in ZIH.

Felipe Angeles airport is not failed. We flew through there in March to Guadalajara from Ixtapa. It was a pleasant experience and would not hesitate to use it again. Clean, not crowded and flights were on time. It seems as Mexico has moved most of the Viva Aerobus domestic operations there and we saw plenty of Cargo planes.

Also taking flights through Mexico City this year has seemed to alleviate congestion.

Sure it's not built up around the new airport. But it will be at some point. I think this is a huge plus for Mexico City's operations.
