## Description

Acapulco's airport has recovered its passengers faster than its freight relevance — the latter it never really had. General Juan N. Álvarez International (ACA, MMAA) handled 684,452 passengers in 2025 after 606,610 in 2024 according to operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA), rebuilding traffic after Hurricane Otis devastated the city in October 2023 and damaged airport facilities. The airport serves leisure travel to the Pacific coast of Guerrero state; no dedicated cargo terminal or scheduled freighter service is confirmed, and shipments travel as belly cargo on passenger flights. Larger or international air freight is handled through Mexico City (MEX) and the Felipe Ángeles cargo airport (NLU), roughly 380 road kilometres to the northeast via the Autopista del Sol, with Zihuatanejo (ZIH) as the nearest coastal alternative. In practice, forwarders serving Guerrero plan for a trucking leg from the central Mexican plateau.
