Flights to Zapopan
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Zapopan is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Guadalajara International Airport (GDL), 23 km (14 mi) from the centre, whose 13,123-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guadalajara International Airport | GDL | 23 km (14 mi) | 13,123 ft | 5,016 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,123 ft, GDL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 5,016 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.
