![]() While 104.5 billion pesos had been spent as of December 2022, another 11.4 billion pesos were allocated to the project in this year’s Federation Expenditure Budget (PEF) if these funds are used, the AIFA will have cost 36 percent more than initially estimated. Considering the AIFA’s increasing expenses and the enduring costs of the NAICM cancelation, AMLO’s purported savings seem far less than his initial estimate. Upon canceling the NAICM, López Obrador ensured, despite the 180 billion pesos needed to end the project, building the less-expensive AIFA airport rather than continuing with the NAICM would save Mexico 120 billion pesos. Several years after Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) canceled the construction of Mexico’s New International Airport (NAICM) in 2018 in favor of building the purportedly less-expensive Felipe Angeles International Airport (AIFA) in the region, new figures have revealed that the AIFA has cost the Mexican government 116 billion pesos as of mid-March 2022 – a far cry from the maximum budget of 75 billion pesos AMLO had publicly touted upon the project’s announcement.
