Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the context of this quiz, what do the letters AICM represent in Spanish?

Answer: Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de Mexico

 It means Mexico City International Airport. It is also referred to as Benito Juarez International Airport, as an honor to him, a former and very important President of Mexico.
2. Before Mexico City Airport received its new name, it was called "Aeropuerto Central", or "Central Airport". When did the airport change its name?

Answer: December 2, 1963

 The change was approved by then Secretary of Communications and Transportation, Walter C. Buchanan.

Answer: 1978

 The control tower has been an essential part of the airport since its start date.

Answer: Instituto Nacional de Migracion

 The Instituto Nacional de Migracion, or National Immigration Institute, was founded in 1993 and belongs to the Secretariat of the Interior or Home Affairs (arguably the most important agency in the government, since the Secretary has similar duties to a vice-president in other countries). Passengers who clear immigration must also go through a separate customs filter administered by the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria (SAT), Mexico 's tax collection agency.
5. On May 30, 2003, the Mexican Federal Government announced that the Mexico City International Airport's terminal would be modernized and expanded. Its objective was to increase passenger capacity to how many?

6. In August 2004, the baggage claim room for national flights in the Mexico International Airport was expanded to 3750 square meters. What was its size before the expansion?

Answer: 2760 square meters

 As there was more space, the capacity of the baggage room grew, and after its expansion it offered capacity for two million people more.
7. The Customs area in the Mexico City Airport was expanded in August 2004. True or false?

Answer: True

Answer: MEX

 MIA is actually the code for the Miami International Airport.
