Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez
Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez, Major international airport in Venustiano Carranza, Mexico.
Description
Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez is a major international airport in Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City. Two separate passenger terminals handle over 50 million travelers per year, with an automated train linking the two buildings together.
History
Operations began in 1931 as a civilian airfield with a single paved landing strip, named after the Mexican president. After World War II, the site underwent several expansions, and a second terminal opened in 2007 to accommodate growing passenger numbers.
Culture
Terminal 2 features murals by artists such as Diego Rivera and Rufino Tamayo, allowing travelers to experience Mexican visual language firsthand. Traditional pottery and contemporary sculpture stand in the waiting areas, reflecting the convergence of different eras and regions across the country.
Practical
Metro Line 5 reaches Terminal 1 directly, while authorized taxis and bus routes connect both terminals to downtown. Allow extra time during morning and evening rush hours, as access roads experience heavy traffic.
