## Description

Freight planners can rule out Captain Rogelio Castillo National Airport (CYW/MMCY) in Celaya straight away: it is a general-aviation and flight-training field with no scheduled service and no commercial cargo handling. That is striking, because it sits in the Bajio manufacturing belt of Guanajuato, one of Mexico's densest automotive and supplier clusters. The airport is run by the Patronato del Aeropuerto de Celaya, a private trust holding a municipal concession; the last scheduled airline service, Aeromar to Mexico City, Monterrey and Queretaro, ended in 2007. There is no cargo terminal, no customs post and no air cargo handling agent on site. Regional airfreight is concentrated at Queretaro Intercontinental (QRO), roughly 75 kilometres east, and at Del Bajio/Leon (BJX) to the west, both of which offer freighter and belly cargo handling plus customs clearance. Trucking between Celaya and either gateway runs on the tolled 45D motorway with journey times of around an hour, so shipments are booked on QRO or BJX and moved by road feeder service.
