MEXICO CITY (AP) — Torrential rains forced Mexico City's main airport to shut down flights for hours on a second consecutive day Tuesday, causing chaos in one of Latin America's busiest travel hubs.
The Mexican capital is seeing one of its heaviest rainy seasons in years, leading to constant flooding in other parts of the city.
Airport authorities said all runways were operating again by midday, after all flights were suspended for at least four hours early Tuesday.
Around 20,000 passengers were affected by flight cancellations, delays and rerouting.
Passengers have reported numerous cancellations and delays this week as heavy rains fall on the capital.
Alicia Nicanor, 69, said her Sunday flight to the northern city of Tijuana was cancelled, and when she returned Tuesday morning for her early morning flight, it was also cancelled.
“I told them I have to go because I have an important appointment with my doctor, but they didn't listen," she said.
Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada said heavy rains on Sunday flooded the city’s main plaza, known as the Zócalo, with more than 3 inches, much of which poured down in just 20 minutes. It broke a record set in 1952.
Meanwhile, videos from the city’s south showed cars floating on flooded streets. The flooding has fueled criticism by some in the capital, who call them a sign of larger infrastructure failures by the city's government.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jimmy Butler had 32 points and eight rebounds, Stephen Curry warmed up in the second half to finish with 27 points and seven assists, and the Golden State Warriors beat the New York Knicks 126-113 on Thursday night.
Moses Moody scored 21 points with seven 3-pointers for the Warriors, while Brandin Podziemski had 19 points.
Deuce McBride and OG Anunoby each scored 25 points and Mikal Bridges had 21 as New York lost for the seventh time in nine games. The Knicks were without Jalen Brunson because of a sprained right ankle suffered in a 112-101 loss at Sacramento a night earlier.
Karl-Anthony Towns had 17 points and a season-best 20 rebounds for New York. This has been a two-day reunion tour for Knicks first-year coach Mike Brown, fired by the Kings last season and also a former Warriors top assistant.
Curry missed his first four 3-point tries before connecting from deep with 9:44 left in the third quarter. It marked only the third time this season he didn't have a 3 in the first half and first since going 0 for 6 in the initial two quarters Dec. 22 against Orlando.
He scored five straight points midway through the fourth to give Golden State a 107-94 lead.
Moody shot 7 for 9 from deep for his sixth 20-point performance of the season, while Butler notched his second 30-point game in the last three and fifth overall. The Warriors had three scorers with 20 or more for the eighth time.
Draymond Green was issued a Flagrant 1 foul upon replay review with 11:01 left in the game for his trip of Towns from the floor.
Warriors reserve forward Gui Santos was helped off the court with 2:21 left in the first quarter after a collision with Josh Hart. Santos sprained his left ankle, with coach Steve Kerr and the medical staff rushing out to check on him at midcourt. Santos then limped to the locker room and didn't return.
Knicks: Host the Suns on Saturday night.
Warriors: Host the Hornets on Saturday night.
