Clock ticks on remodel of Mexico City International Airport as World Cup nears
Published on March 23, 2026.
Renovations at Mexico City International Airport (AICM) are only around half completed after 10 months of construction. The airport's Director General, Juan José Padilla, stated that some sections of the Terminal 1 concourse, baggage carousels, drainage, parking, road improvements and other areas will not be ready for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The $416-million overhaul is set to begin in May 2025 and is expected to significantly improve the passenger experience. However, there are concerns about disruptions for passengers due to noise, blocked sidewalks, out-of-service staircases, fewer waiting areas and narrower corridors.
