New Mexico City Airport
On 3rd September 2014 Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto announced that Mexico
City’s new international airport was to be designed by British Foster + Partners and
Mexican Architects Fernando Romero Enterprises (FR-EE). The Airport area will cover
555,000 square metres, which will make it one of the world’s largest and most
sustainable airports. It will include photocells, natural lighting, air handling, rainwater
harvesting and water conservation. The whole project will cost around £9.23m and will
eventually have 6 runways and should begin operating 2020 onwards. This new hub will
replace Benito Juarez International Airport and will be built at the nearby area of
Texcoco.
Over the past decade, Mexico’s investment in infrastructure grew from 3% to nearly 5%
of its GDP. Mexico’s new National Infrastructure Programme (NIP) 2014-2018, includes a
number of modernisation and expansion projects in airports, which are part of a £65
billion investment to develop transport infrastructure throughout the country. Bids for the
new airport that have already been awarded are the following:
