Flights to Uruapan
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Uruapan is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Uruapan - Licenciado y General Ignacio Lopez Rayon International Airport (UPN), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,874 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uruapan - Licenciado y General Ignacio Lopez Rayon International Airport (regional) | UPN | 3 km (2 mi) | 7,874 ft | 5,258 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,874 ft, UPN handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 5,258 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.
