## Description

The code OAX stands for Xoxocotlán International Airport, the gateway to Oaxaca City — a destination known for mezcal, crafts and the Día de Muertos festivities, and a passenger rather than a freight airport. It has no meaningful air-cargo infrastructure; export or time-critical shipments route through Mexico City (MEX), a little over two hours away by road or a short hop by air. For the region, the road links to the highlands and the Pacific coast matter most. Specialty goods such as mezcal usually travel as consolidated freight on road or courier networks.
