About Adolfo López Mateos International Airport

Adolfo López Mateos International Airport lies in the tropics at 19.34° N, 99.57° W, on America/Mexico_City time (UTC-6). Tropical airports contend with heat and humidity, both of which thin the air and lengthen takeoff runs, and with convective storms that build fast in the afternoon.

Adolfo López Mateos International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 15/33, measures 13,780 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 15/33 is aligned roughly south-east/north-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south-east/north-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.

At 8,466 ft above sea level this is a genuinely high-altitude airport. Thin air means less lift and less engine thrust, so aircraft need noticeably more runway, and on a hot day operators may have to leave passengers, cargo or fuel behind to get airborne safely.
