Mexico City International Airport - Location

Location

The airport is 5 km (3.1 mi). east from central Mexico City and is surrounded by the built-up areas of Gustavo A. Madero to the north and Venustiano Carranza to the west, south and east. As the airport is located on the east side of Mexico City and its runways run southwest-northeast, an airliner's landing approach is usually directly over Mexico City. Therefore, there is an important overflying problem.
