MEX Airport Code: Mexico City Airport IATA & ICAO

Overview
MEX is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Mexico City International Airport in Mexico City, Mexico (MX). The matching ICAO identifier is MMMX. Travel agents see MEX on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example MEXLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO MMMX is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is America/Mexico_City. This code page explains how MEX is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for Mexico: CUN (Cancun), GDL (Guadalajara). Related IATA city code in this dataset: MEX. To turn a booked PNR that contains MEX into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.
How to use this page
- Confirm the three-letter token on the ticket or PNR is MEX, not a similar code.
- Open the PNR parser and paste the full itinerary that contains MEX.
- Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
- Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for MEX.
- Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.
Example
Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 MEXLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read MEX as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If MEX is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
