Mexico Inaugurates Felipe Angeles Intl Airport

Today, the Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador opens one of his emplematic projects: AIFA (ICAO: NLU, IATA: MSMM). Some hours ago, an Aeromexico E190 had the honor on being the first to depart en route to Villahermosa. 20 operations are planned for the airport today. The ceremony though, is scheduled to be at 2022-03-21T17:00:00Z.

A very controversial airport by a controversial president, but I’m curious to see what this airport can reach in the future.

Info being tracked from: (in Spanish)

True, but honestly, this airport was also made just because of politics too.

Not going to explain a lot tho
