## Description

Southern Sonora's Yaqui Valley, one of Mexico's most productive farm belts, sets the rhythm at Ciudad Obregón International (IATA: CEN, ICAO: MMCN), about 15 km south-east of the city. Run by the federal operator Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA), it handled 531,343 passengers in 2025 against 438,717 the year before, ranking 38th among Mexican airports. Aeroméxico, Volaris and VivaAerobus fly the scheduled programme, with Swissport providing ground and cargo handling. There are no dedicated freighter rotations; air shipments travel in the belly hold, while most wheat and produce exports leave by truck on Federal Highway 15 for the roughly 600 km run to the Nogales border crossing, where customs formalities are completed. Time-critical air freight is consolidated through Hermosillo (HMO) some 250 km north, and intercontinental volumes through Mexico City (MEX) or Guadalajara (GDL). The airport's fortunes track the irrigation-fed harvest cycles of the surrounding valley.
