General information

Its logo represents a hangar, several of which are inside the nearby Mexico City International Airport. However, the station does not actually serve the airport, as the two neighboring stations, Terminal Aérea and Pantitlán, are closer to Terminal 1 and 2 respectively.[4] Within the airport, the Aerotrén people mover system can shuttle ticketed passengers between terminals.[5]

History and construction
View of the station logo

Line 5 of Mexico City Metro was built by Grupo ICA,[6] and its first section was opened on 19 December 1981, operating from Pantitlán to Consulado stations.[7] The Terminal Aérea–Hangares tunnel was built with slurry walls, using the Milan method.[6]

Incidents

From 1 to 16 March 2020, Terminal Aérea, Hangares, and Pantitlán stations were closed due to a leak of gasoline in a surface petrol station.[8]

From 23 April to 15 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[9][10]
