Monterrey International Airport (General Mariano Escobedo International Airport)
Monterrey International Airport, (Aeropuerto Internacional de Monterrey, ), ceremonial name General Mariano Escobedo International Airport, is an international airport located in Apodaca, Nuevo León, Mexico. Together with Del Norte International Airport, the airport handles domestic and international operations for the city of Monterrey and its metropolitan area.
The airport serves as a hub for Aeroméxico, Magnicharters, and VivaAerobús, and a focus city for Volaris. Airport terminals were renovated and expanded in 2003 and 2007.
There are almost 300 daily flights to more than 35 destinations in Mexico, the United States, and Latin America. With the second highest traffic in northern Mexico, Monterrey International Airport is also Mexico's fifth and Latin America's 12th-busiest airport. It had one of the fastest influx growth in recent years; it handled 8,269,834 passengers in 2021, and 10,943,186 passengers in 2022.
In September 2005, an Aeroméxico Boeing 767 took off from Monterrey on a flight to Madrid, marking the launch of the first nonstop link to Europe. The airline later introduced a route to Rome, but in 2009 financial difficulties forced it to end the flight. Service to Madrid concluded the same year, leaving Monterrey without transatlantic flights.
In September 2014, Monterrey commenced its first intercontinental flight in years when Aeromexico began flying its Boeing 787 Dreamliner four days a week to Tokyo-Narita as a fuel stop to flights between Mexico City International Airport and Tokyo-Narita. Aeromexico stated that the flight would last while Tijuana International Airport, the usual stop between the Aeromexico flight to Tokyo, made improvements to its runway. Monterrey was selected due to its importance to the country's economy and being a popular business destination. Later, Aeromexico's flight from Mexico City to Tokyo-Narita was upgraded to a direct flight, with once-daily flights leaving from Mexico City, so the Tokyo flights from Monterrey have been discontinued.
The airport regained direct connectivity with Europe in December 2021 when Aeroméxico reinstated the route to Madrid.
