Now it is official. No more slots are available at the Mexico City airport between 6 and 10 a.m. and between 5 and 9 p.m. Once again, pressure is on to build a new airport. This was attempted a dozen years ago, but machete-wielding farmers protested. Alternative airports seemed to be one solution, but Cuernavaca, Puebla and Queretaro are too distant while the altitude at Toluca (nearly 8,000 feet) is a severe disadvantage. Another runway at Mexico City is another alternative, but the Mexico City airport is in a heavily built-up part of the capital city.
