Flights to Ciudad Guzmán
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ciudad Guzmán is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Guadalajara International Airport (GDL), 92 km (57 mi) from the centre, whose 13,123-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Licenciado Miguel de la Madrid International Airport (CLQ, 49 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guadalajara International Airport | GDL | 92 km (57 mi) | 13,123 ft | 5,016 ft |
| Licenciado Miguel de la Madrid International Airport (regional) | CLQ | 49 km (30 mi) | 7,546 ft | 2,467 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,123 ft, GDL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 5,016 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
