There\u2019s an effective subway system (and astoundingly mean, although it did have a massive accident in 2021 with 26 casualties), as well as a private bus company operating through the city\u2019s major spots. Except for a few places, one is never too far away from a public transportation group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nonetheless, the surrounding places of Mexico City are not as well-connected, they are inclined to severe traffic jams, and public transportation is known for its safety-related matters. NLU is located outside of Mexico City, 45 kilometers away from the downtown (in comparison, MEX is only eight kilometers away).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mexican government has several projects to tackle this issue, including a main six-kilometer highway and an expansion of a train line that will connect Mexico\u2019s downtown and NLU in under 40 minutes. Nevertheless, these projects will not be finished in time for next month, when the new airport will open its doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these projects are finished, the government has set a route of non-stop bus lines exiting from many points throughout Mexico City, including the current airport. But, at the same time, it forbade the use of private mobility providers such as Uber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If these ground transportation projects are not successful, the entire airport could fail its economic advantages, as journeying from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mexico_City_International_Airport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Mexico City <\/a>to&nbsp;NLU&nbsp;could raise the cost of the trip over the average fares at MEX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport-600x384.jpg 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport-750x480.jpg 750w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport-1140x730.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/leadimage_mexicointernationalairport.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Mexico_City_International_Airport |Aviationa2z.com<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lack-of-flights\">Felipe \u00c1ngeles International Airport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One month away from the opening of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Felipe_%C3%81ngeles_International_Airport\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Felipe \u00c1ngeles International Airport<\/a>, there are only six domestic routes confirmed.&nbsp;Volaris, Viva Aerobus, and&nbsp;Grupo Aeromexico&nbsp;will work a team of flights per day, each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Each airline will work a domestic route that they already serve from Mexico City International Airport, bringing up the question of whether these&nbsp;NLU&nbsp;flights will be commercially viable.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also, read   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/11\/aviation-requested-to-extend-flights-to-the-tirupati-as-passenger-footfall-increases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Aviation requested to extend flights to the Tirupati as passenger footfall increases<\/a>   <\/strong><\/li><li><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/02\/17\/faa-tightens-up-approval-for-boeing-787-dreamliners-to-check-manufacturing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">FAA tightens up approval for Boeing 787 Dreamliners to check manufacturing<\/a>   <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/02\/16\/all-trujet-aircraft-grounded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Indian regional carrier TruJet grounded all aircrafts due to financial issues!<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Volaris will fly from NLU to Tijuana and Cancun; Viva Aerobus will fly to Guadalajara and Monterrey, and Aeromexico to M\u00e9rida and Villahermosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Volaris and Viva Aerobus, there\u2019s a growing market in the surroundings of NLU.
