Mexico City's Airport Problem No One Can Solve

Mexico City International Airport is trapped in a compounding crisis that no government has solved in 30 years — two runways less than 300 meters apart, a facility built for 32 million passengers handling 45 million, and a $13 billion replacement airport that was canceled before it was finished. Every attempted solution has made it worse — from the failed $4 billion Felipe Ángeles Airport that carries a third of what it projected, to the forced cargo relocation that broke the supply chain, to the US sanctions that revoked 13 international routes. In this video we break down why Mexico City's airport problem is unsolvable, how every fix has failed, and what the 2026 World Cup revealed about the airport that Mexico can't fix.
