METAR / TAF from NOAA Aviation Weather Center. Live data refreshed on each page load.
History
Opened March 21, 2022 on the grounds of Santa Lucía Air Force Base, north of Mexico City. Built and operated by the Mexican Army (SEDENA) under direct order from President López Obrador after the cancellation of the partially-completed NAIM (Texcoco) project in 2018. Designed to relieve traffic at MEX, with carriers gradually mandated to shift cargo and select passenger operations. Ramp-up has been slower than projected.

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.
