Lack of Capacity, Slot Restriction and Recent Expansions

The airport has suffered since the early 1990s from a lack of capacity due to the limitation of space at its surroundings, since it is located in a densely-populated area and has no more space for expansion. Some analysts have reported that if the airport were to have grown at the same speed as demand, it would now serve over 40 million passengers annually. The main issue with the airport is the limitation that two runways provide, since they are used at 97.3% of their maximum capacity, leaving a very short room for new operations into the airport. Non-Govermental, Non-Military and Non-Commercial aircraft are restricted from landing at the airport. Private aircraft must use alternate airports, such as Lic. Adolfo Lopez Mateos International Airport

. Even with the inauguration of new Terminal 2, the airport would be ideally designed to serve around 18 million passengers per year, according to the international standards for runway and terminal usage. Instead, the airport will keep increasing the number of passengers from around 26 million passengers in the present year at a rate of 16% per year.

Since the year 2000, the federal government has been trying to maximize the operational capacity if the airport. Former president Vicente Fox Quesada launched a program called Expansion of Mexico City Airport to its Maximum Capacity to expand the airport terminal and operational-wise to its largest extent possible. Several taxiways were planned and built, as well as the expansion and complete remodeling of Terminal 1, demolishing of Old Terminal 2, and finally the construction of New Terminal 2 at the other side of the largest terminal. The project was started with an initial investment of $20,000,000USD. Neverthless, its final cost was $800,000,000USD.

In 2005, the airport management together with the federal government decided to build a new terminal at the other side of the airport, in order to take advantage of all possible space inside the airport's borders. Old Terminal 2 which only housed Aeromar

 newspaper, published an article saying that it was remarkable that, after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Benito Juárez International Airport kept its plane spotting area open to the public, whereas a large number of airports worldwide had decided to close theirs. The Republic estimated that about 300 viewers and 100 model airplane and food sellers are attracted to the area every day. The airport's director told the newspaper that they had decided to leave the area open because it offered a free alternative for low-income families to spend the day. Nevertheless, from inside the airport facilities, it is practically impossible to get a full view of the airport, since many obstructions have been built in order to meet the airport's safety standards.
