| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manuel Márquez de León International Airport (regional) | LAP | 9 km (6 mi) | 8,202 ft | 69 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, LAP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 69 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
