| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport | MEX | 24 km (15 mi) | 12,966 ft | 7,316 ft |
| Felipe Ángeles International Airport | NLU | 33 km (21 mi) | 14,764 ft | 7,369 ft |
| Adolfo López Mateos International Airport | TLC | 41 km (25 mi) | 13,780 ft | 8,466 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,966 ft, MEX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 7,316 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
