Live conditions

History
Mexico's primary international gateway, opened 1928 as Puerto Aéreo Central. Renamed for Benito Juárez in 2006. The airport is severely capacity-constrained on its only two parallel runways; the federal government has shifted some commercial cargo and certain domestic operations to the new AIFA airport (NLU) since 2022 to relieve congestion. Federally operated by the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) since 2022 under the AFAC concession framework.
More about this airport
About this profile
Reference data (codes, coordinates, elevation, runways, owner, opening date) is curated from each airport's official authority page, the FAA's airport reference system for US airports, NAV CANADA and Transport Canada for Canadian airports, and AFAC and the operating concessionaire for Mexican airports. Latest passenger figures are CY 2023 totals where confidently sourced.
Live METAR and TAF are fetched from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center on each page load. NOTAMs (US airports) are fetched from the FAA NOTAM Search. If a source is unreachable when this page loads, the corresponding section displays an "unavailable" message rather than a blank or stale value.
This data is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the FAA's NASR 28-day cycle.
