Boulevard Puerto Aéreo metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro in the city's borough of Venustiano Carranza. It is an underground stop two side platforms, serving Line 1 (Pink Line) between Balbuena and Gómez Farías. It was inaugurated on 4 September 1969, and opened the following day, providing service west toward Chapultepec and service east toward Zaragoza. Boulevard Puerto Aéreo metro station originally operated as Aeropuerto metro station with west service toward Chapultepec and east service toward Zaragoza.

Its former name referenced the station's proximity to Mexico City International Airport at the time of its opening, and its first pictogram depicted the silhouette of an airliner. However, when Terminal Aérea metro station opened in 1981 next to the airport, it assumed that function. Due to continuing confusion among travelers, the station's name and logo were changed in 1997. The pictogram for Boulevard Puerto Aéreo metro station features the silhouette of an air vent under a road bridge, representing a landmark found at the junction of Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza and Boulevard Puerto Aéreo avenues, from which the station takes its name.

The stop services the colonias (neighborhoods) of Moctezuma, Santa Cruz Aviación, and Valentín Gómez Farías. Its facilities offer accessibility for people with disabilities, including elevators and tactile pavings. Outside, the station receives services from a transportation hub that connects to multiple local bus routes.

Boulevard Puerto Aéreo metro station was closed from July 2022 to October 2023 due to modernization works on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment. In 2025, the station had an average daily ridership of 16,216 passengers, ranking it the 81st busiest station in the network.
