Official Website

Monterrey International Airport (IATA: MTY)—officially General Mariano Escobedo International Airport—is the fourth‑busiest airport in Mexico, handling 15.6 million passengers in 2025 and serving as a major hub for Viva, Aerus, and Aeroméxico Connect. Located in Apodaca, Nuevo León, it operates two asphalt runways—12/30 (3,000 m) and 16/34 (1,801 m)—and supports flights across Mexico, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Opened in 1970 to replace the older Del Norte Airport, MTY has grown into a key northern gateway, featuring multiple terminals, cargo facilities, and modern navigation services. Passenger traffic continues to rise, with expansions underway to accommodate increasing demand and enhance the airport’s role as a strategic aviation hub.
