This page lists the busiest airports in Mexico, ranked by passenger traffic, international passenger traffic, aircraft operations, and cargo traffic, according to the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC). The data covers 2010 onward and includes ICAO and IATA codes, along with growth rates. A separate list includes all airports in Mexico.
Mexico has an extensive and well-developed aviation network, with 1,527 registered airfields and 80 airports, ranking fourth globally in total airfields. The country's airports handle over 180 million passengers annually.
Mexico City International Airport (MEX) remains the country's busiest airport and one of the largest in Latin America. It serves as the primary hub for Mexico's flagship carrier, Aeroméxico. The broader Mexico City Airport System, which includes Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) and Toluca International Airport (TLC), is one of the busiest city airport systems in Latin America.
Cancún International Airport (CUN) is the busiest airport in Mexico and Latin America by international passenger traffic, offering flights to numerous destinations across the Americas and Europe. Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) leads in cargo operations, with the most operational runways (3) and the longest runway in Mexico.
Other major airports include Guadalajara (GDL), Monterrey (MTY), Tijuana (TIJ), Los Cabos (SJD), and Puerto Vallarta (PVR). Every Mexican metropolitan area with over 300,000 inhabitants has an airport, with Cuernavaca (CVJ) and Xalapa (JAL) being the largest cities whose airports lack scheduled passenger service.
