¿Cuál es el aeropuerto más antiguo de México? Conoce su historia

En el vertiginoso mundo de la aviación, donde los aeropuertos representan puertas al mundo y símbolos de progreso, es natural preguntarse: ¿cuál es el aeropuerto más antiguo de México? Sumergiéndonos en los recovecos de la historia aeronáutica del país, nos encontramos con un enclave que ha sido testigo de la evolución de la aviación mexicana: el Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México, comúnmente conocido como el Aeropuerto Benito Juárez.

La génesis de este aeródromo se remonta a una época donde los aviones eran más bien rarezas en el cielo mexicano. A principios del siglo XX, la Ciudad de México carecía de una infraestructura aeroportuaria adecuada.

Sin embargo, la necesidad de un punto de partida para las incipientes actividades aéreas llevó a la realización de vuelos experimentales en los Llanos de Anzures, en un lugar que con el tiempo se conocería como La Vaquita.

Fue en el año 1909 cuando se iniciaron estas primeras incursiones aéreas en el mencionado sitio, y poco después se comenzaron a utilizar los despoblados llanos de Balbuena, sentando así las bases para lo que se convertiría en la primera instalación aeroportuaria formal del país.

No obstante, el verdadero impulso para el desarrollo de la aviación en México llegaría con la decisión de Venustiano Carranza de crear la Aviación Militar el 5 de febrero de 1915. Este hito no solo marcó el inicio de la actividad aeronáutica militar en el país, sino que también sentó las bases para la creación del que hoy conocemos como Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México.

Inicialmente designado como el Puerto Aéreo Central, este aeropuerto ha evolucionado con el tiempo, adaptándose a las demandas cambiantes de la aviación comercial y militar. Sin embargo, su inauguración como aeropuerto central e internacional (en conjunto con su construcción) no sería hasta 19 de noviembre de 1952.

Su nombre ha variado a lo largo de los años, reflejando tanto el crecimiento de la industria como los cambios políticos y sociales que han marcado la historia de México.

Sin embargo, su legado como el pionero entre los aeropuertos mexicanos sigue siendo inquebrantable. A medida que la aviación se expandía por todo el país, surgieron nuevos aeropuertos en diversas regiones, desde el Aeropuerto Del Norte en Monterrey hasta los aeropuertos de Tampico, Veracruz, Mérida, Cozumel, Tapachula e Ixtepec, entre otros, durante las décadas de 1940 y 1950.

Hoy en día, el Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México sigue siendo el principal punto de entrada y salida para millones de pasajeros que viajan dentro y fuera del país. Su rica historia y su papel crucial en el desarrollo de la aviación en México lo convierten en un símbolo perdurable de progreso y modernidad.

Si alguna vez te has preguntado cuál es el aeropuerto más antiguo de México, la respuesta te lleva a un lugar donde la historia se entrelaza con el cielo: el Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México, un monumento viviente al espíritu pionero de la aviación mexicana.
