Flights to Mazatlán
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mazatlán is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is General Rafael Buelna International Airport (MZT), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,868 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Rafael Buelna International Airport | MZT | 17 km (11 mi) | 8,868 ft | 38 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,868 ft, MZT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 38 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
