Location
Temixco, Mexico
General Mariano Matamoros International Airport, also known as Cuernavaca Airport, is a small international airport located in Temixco, in the state of Morelos, Mexico. It serves the city of Cuernavaca and the broader Morelos region, and has historically functioned as an alternate airport for Mexico City due to its proximity to the capital.
The airport is named after General Mariano Matamoros, a prominent figure in Mexico's War of Independence. Despite holding international designation, the airport has seen limited scheduled commercial traffic over the years and has operated with varying levels of airline service.
Efforts have periodically been made to increase commercial activity at the airport, positioning it as a relief option for the congested Mexico City airspace. However, it remains primarily a general aviation and low-traffic facility compared to major Mexican hubs.
