## Description

On the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca, Ixtepec's General Antonio Cárdenas Rodríguez field (IZT) operates mainly as a Mexican Air Force base with only sporadic civilian flights. There is no dedicated cargo terminal here. Freight forwarders route regional air shipments through Mexico City (MEX) or Veracruz (VER). The site sits beside the interoceanic rail corridor (CIIT) now linking the Pacific and Gulf coasts.
