airport, as well as the existing Toluca International Airport (TLC) and Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX).
This paper presents a study that investigates the practical limitations and evaluates the performance indicators of the capacity [10] of the Felipe Ángeles Airport terminal. The facility has been designed for progressive expansion according to demand. Currently, the system appears to be over-dimensioned;
however, it is beneficial for all stakeholders to identify potential future problems. Therefore, the authors used simulation models to generate synthetic data and evaluate the turning points when the system reaches its limits. This approach provides timely warnings for airport operators, helping to avoid problems for passengers and stakeholders.
