Flights to Cuernavaca
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Cuernavaca is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Adolfo López Mateos International Airport (TLC), 58 km (36 mi) from the centre, whose 13,780-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX, 59 km), Hermanos Serdán International Airport (PBC, 94 km), Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU, 94 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adolfo López Mateos International Airport | TLC | 58 km (36 mi) | 13,780 ft | 8,466 ft |
| Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport | MEX | 59 km (37 mi) | 12,966 ft | 7,316 ft |
| Hermanos Serdán International Airport | PBC | 94 km (58 mi) | 11,811 ft | 7,361 ft |
| Felipe Ángeles International Airport | NLU | 94 km (58 mi) | 14,764 ft | 7,369 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,780 ft, TLC can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 8,466 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.
