Mexico City Benito Juarez
🇲🇽 Mexico City · MMMX
One of the world's most challenging major airports at 7,316 feet elevation. Aeromexico, Volaris, and VivaAerobus pack the runways while American and United add international lift. Pilots calculate performance carefully as the thin air significantly reduces climb and engine power. Mountains surrounding the valley require precise departure procedures, and smog can reduce visibility.
