## Description

Ciudad Victoria's airport earns its keep with passengers, not freight. Coded CVM and actually located in neighbouring Güémez, the field is named after independence fighter Pedro José Méndez and serves the capital of Tamaulipas state. Traffic is largely domestic, complemented by business and general aviation, with ground handling from providers such as Menzies Aviation. The airport holds no meaningful dedicated air cargo; regional exports lean on road transport and on larger nodes, above all the freight airport at Monterrey (MTY) some 280 kilometres to the north-west. CVM is an administrative and regional stop whose strength lies in people rather than goods.
