## Description

Automotive manufacturing around the Nissan plants shapes what flies out of Lic. Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport (AGU/MMAS), which handled about 962,000 passengers in 2024 and some 984,000 in 2025. The airport is run by Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP) and sits roughly 24 kilometres south of the city of Aguascalientes. For traders the decisive detail is the on-site customs section of the Aduana Aguascalientes, open on weekdays from 09:00 to 21:00 for import and export clearance, which makes AGU an authorised entry and exit point rather than a passenger terminal alone. Scheduled freighter services, however, are not documented: air cargo moves mainly as belly freight, supplemented by charter and ad-hoc flights for urgent production parts. For intercontinental capacity the Aguascalientes-Guanajuato industrial corridor relies on Guadalajara (GDL), which has specialised in automotive cargo, with Querétaro (QRO) and Bajío/León (BJX) as further options. Road feeder service makes those detours workable: Guadalajara is about 250 road kilometres and three hours away.
