Duarte canceled the (very badly needed) new airport in Mexico City, after construction had already begun. In no universe could the current MEX airport handle anything even slightly above its current passenger capacity.

(Unless, of course, this whole Olympic gambit is just a strategy to re-start the canceled new airport! In which case, it would totally be worth it.)

Very insightful observation.

Duarte?

I don't know who Duarte is...

But, an airport was built after the cancellation of the other one. A train line is in construction to connect it to the city proper. Still in very early stages of operation though... so, hopefully is not just another waste of our taxes.
