The long-awaited suburban train connecting Mexico City to the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) officially opened on Sunday, April 26, 2026, after multiple delays spanning over three years.
President Claudia Sheinbaum inaugurated the new 41-kilometer extension from the Lechería station to the AIFA terminal, completing a journey from Buenavista station in downtown Mexico City in approximately one hour. Authorities expect travel time to reduce to 45 minutes once the system is fully adapted.
“Today we can say: mission accomplished. We have kept our promise to the people of Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the AIFA station.
The Suburban Train is especially important as ride-sharing services are not allowed into the AIFA, and drivers do not dare break the rules, as the airport is within a larger military facility.
