It was planned to have six runways, with 2 of them 5000 m, 4 of them 4500 m. I don't understand why it was planned to be so long, but it would be really exciting if it were completed.
I was always really excited about the finish of the airport, but sadly, the construction was abandoned. Felipe Angeles is nice too and is way cheaper than building this one, but it's too far away from Mexico City. I hope at some day they could restart the construction because Mexico City really needs a large and close airport.
(From Google Maps the runway shape looked like 5km long. You can measure it.)
