This station was formerly known as Metro Aeropuerto, and its logo was an aeroplane.^[1] Nearby were the former facilities of the old Mexico City airport, which were closed down and rebuilt some distance to the north.^[1] However, the station retained the name "Aeropuerto" for many years, causing no end of confusion to out-of-town visitors looking for the airport stop, which is Metro Terminal Aérea.
