This makes it the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere.

The Greater Mexico City area population is much higher and was estimated to be 20.1 million in 2010. Located in the Valley of Mexico, which is in the high plateaus of south-central Mexico, it has a minimum altitude of 7,217ft ASL and is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes with some reaching elevations of 15,000ft. In 2009 the city proper had an estimated population of around 8.84 million people, with a land area of 1,485 square kilometres. Mexico City is the capital city of Mexico. The airport currently has two terminal buildings and serves approximately 29 million passengers a year which is getting very close to its capacity of 32 million. Ten years later in 1990, the mixed domestic/international gates were separated to increase the terminal’s functionality, along with the separation of domestic and international check-in halls. In 1980, the terminal was expanded to double its capacity, using a single large terminal rather than multiple terminals as in other airports. This left the airport with just two parallel runways which happens to be its current configuration. At that time it had five runways, however in the 1970s, president Luis Echeverría closed three runways to give the land to poor people in order for them to build homes. The airport first opened in the 1920s as a military airport and was known as Balbuena Military Airport. In Mexico it is the busiest airport by both passenger traffic and aircraft movements and in Latin America it is the busiest airport by aircraft movements and the second busiest airport by passenger traffic after Guarulhos Airport in São Paulo, Brazil.

Benito Juárez International Airport, ICAO: MMMX is the airport that serves Mexico City.
