Mexico City's new international airport opens with few flights
Mexico on Monday opened a new international airport serving the capital -- a flagship project of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador -- but so far many airlines are hesitant to use it.
Felipe Angeles International Airport, built at a military air base north of Mexico City, began operating with a domestic Aeromexico flight bound for Villahermosa in Lopez Obrador's home state of Tabasco.
"The airport is 100 percent complete," Lopez Obrador said at his daily news conference held at the new airport.
"It's just a matter of airlines increasing their trips" from Felipe Angeles, he said.
