## Description

Michoacán's farm economy, built on avocados and berries, shapes what shippers expect from Morelia's General Francisco J. Mujica airport (IATA: MLM, ICAO: MMMM), about 27 kilometres outside the city. Run by Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP), it is the state's primary airport and linked the central highlands to domestic points and selected US routes while carrying 772,100 passengers in the first half of 2026, twelve per cent more than a year earlier and 17.5 per cent more in June alone. The reality of avocado logistics, however, is road: the overwhelming share of Michoacán's fruit leaves by refrigerated truck across the US land border, and air freight at MLM serves time-critical berries, flowers and express consignments as belly cargo on passenger services. No scheduled freighter operation is confirmed here. What matters to shippers is an unbroken cold chain from the Uruapan packing houses to departure, plus motorway access toward Mexico City and Guadalajara. For full-freighter capacity or broad intercontinental reach, Mexico City (MEX/NLU) and Guadalajara (GDL) remain the working alternatives, both with established perishables terminals.
