Mexico is pressing ahead with sweeping upgrades to Benito Juárez International Airport (the main hub serving Mexico City) as the country prepares to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The renovations aim to modernise ageing infrastructure and expand passenger capacity, but budget constraints and logistical hurdles have caused delays, leaving workers in a tight race to finish in time. With the tournament now only months away, the project's completion has become a high-stakes test of the country's readiness to welcome a surge of international visitors.
