## Description

For freight, Manzanillo's story is told at the seaport — Mexico's busiest on the Pacific — not at Playa de Oro International Airport. The airport mainly serves tourism along the Colima coast and regional passenger links, and it carries no significant air-cargo operation. Between January and October 2025 the GAP-operated airport handled about 184,000 passengers, up 6.4% year on year. Time-critical shipments are typically handled through Guadalajara (GDL), the nearest true cargo hub roughly three hours inland by road. What matters logistically here is the interface between the container port and its rail and highway hinterland, while the airport's strength lies with passengers.
