## Description

At Lázaro Cárdenas, the cargo story belongs to the sea, not the sky. The city hosts Mexico's largest Pacific container port, while its airport (LZC) runs a single 1,500-metre asphalt strip with no scheduled passenger service since Aeromar withdrew in 2021. Operated by the national port authority ASIPONA, it now handles general, executive and training aviation, recording fewer than 2,000 passengers in 2021. There is no air-freight terminal; shippers serving Michoacán route air cargo through Guadalajara (GDL) or Mexico City (MEX). For freight forwarders, LZC marks the airfield beside the port — useful for charters, irrelevant for tonnage.
