Area map and layout

AIFA will be the northern terminus of a branch of the Tren Suburbano.[1] It will be located in the Municipality of Zumpango, State of Mexico. The construction faced multiple delays, and the opening date has been pushed from 2022, to July 2025,[2][3] and most recently April 2026.[4]

Overview

The terminal will be housed in the basement of the user parking building. It will provide a fast and efficient service to passengers and employees of Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA), transporting them in a comfortable and safe way between Mexico City and the State of Mexico.

The station will cover an area of almost 12,000 square meters, and it will have elevators, escalators, service stairs, and closed circuit television and equipment.[5]

Connections

The terminal will be connected to Line I of the Mexibús.[6]

Furthermore, to connect the station with Line IV, an extension is planned from the Universidad Mexiquense terminal to AIFA, thus connecting from La Raza in Mexico City to the airport. It is expected to use the new road on the way to Tonanitla, which has not yet been delivered.[7]
