| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monterrey International Airport | MTY | 24 km (15 mi) | 9,843 ft | 1,278 ft |
| Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (regional) | SLW | 63 km (39 mi) | 9,506 ft | 4,778 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, MTY handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,278 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
