<p class="blog-para">Construction of the airport began in 1970, as ordered by Jorge Jim&eacute;nez Cantu, as a reliever airport for the Mexico City metropolitan area. It was inaugurated in 1984.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Toluca went from serving 145,000 passengers in 2002 to 3,200,000 in 2007 and 4,300,000 in 2008. It used to be a hub for Volaris, but the company announced on March 8, 2011, that its hub in Toluca would switch to Guadalajara. Interjet also moved the bulk of its operations to Mexico City. As a result, the passenger traffic got significantly reduced: from 1,161,064 passengers in 2013 to 134,305 in 2021.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The airport was reduced from four terminals to two after all domestic operations were handled at the Domestic Terminal. Before 2007, Interjet and Volaris had each independent Terminal, plus Terminal 1 (now Domestic Terminal) and the International Terminal. Recent renovations have expanded both the terminals and aprons, making the airport capable of handling an excess of 6 million passengers each year.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Among the airlines that used to frequent Toluca were Aerom&eacute;xico Connect, Click Mexicana, Republic air and TAESA Airlines. The airport had service to the United States by Continental Express (later United Express) and Spirit Airlines. Service to Spain from Toluca was also offered by Air Madrid in the early 2000s.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In 2022, the airport restarted commercial services. Still, Toluca has no scheduled passengers flight as of April 2022, according to Cirium. The airport faces many challenges, including an uphill battle against MEX, which is far more attractive for airlines. Additionally, Toluca is located at 2,580 meters above sea level, which heavily restricts the operations it can handle.</p>
