## Description

An airport that gained three international routes within a year yet still handles no dedicated freight: Tepic's Amado Nervo airport (IATA: TPQ, ICAO: MMEP) in the western Mexican state of Nayarit. Volaris opened Los Angeles in July 2025, WestJet added Calgary in December 2025, and Viva has linked Tepic with Mexico City's AIFA since May 2025; in early 2026 five carriers served roughly six destinations. Traffic remains modest and passenger-driven, there is no cargo terminal, and air freight moves only as belly load. Exporters in Nayarit — agriculture, tobacco, fisheries — normally route volume shipments through Guadalajara (GDL), the cargo base of western Mexico about two hours away by road. Puerto Vallarta (PVR), roughly two and a half hours along the coast, is the second practical option. Routes to Monterrey, Toluca and Phoenix are reported to be under negotiation for 2026.
