Xochimilco is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX), 20 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 12,966-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Adolfo López Mateos International Airport (TLC, 49 km), Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU, 55 km), Hermanos Serdán International Airport (PBC, 78 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport | MEX | 20 km (12 mi) | 12,966 ft | 7,316 ft |
| Adolfo López Mateos International Airport | TLC | 49 km (30 mi) | 13,780 ft | 8,466 ft |
| Felipe Ángeles International Airport | NLU | 55 km (34 mi) | 14,764 ft | 7,369 ft |
| Hermanos Serdán International Airport | PBC | 78 km (48 mi) | 11,811 ft | 7,361 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,966 ft, MEX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 7,316 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.
