## Description

Beach tourism and fresh-produce exports pull General Rafael Buelna International Airport (MZT) in two directions on Mexico's Pacific coast. Sinaloa, one of the country's leading farming and fishing states, ships shrimp, tuna and vegetables, most of it as belly freight aboard passenger flights. Courier and logistics firms operate at the field alongside general-aviation hangars, but no dedicated widebody freighter base exists. Aeroméxico, Volaris and VivaAerobus cover domestic routes, supplemented by seasonal services to the United States and Canada. Industrial and intercontinental cargo moves instead through Guadalajara, roughly 500 kilometres to the south-east. Customs clearance runs through Mexico's Aduana. The nearby deep-water port of Mazatlán complements air freight for heavy or price-sensitive consignments by sea.
