Flights to Irapuato
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Irapuato is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Guanajuato International Airport (BJX), 38 km (24 mi) from the centre, whose 11,483-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport (MLM, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guanajuato International Airport | BJX | 38 km (24 mi) | 11,483 ft | 5,956 ft |
| General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport | MLM | 98 km (61 mi) | 11,155 ft | 6,033 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,483 ft, BJX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 5,956 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.
