Puerto Escondido International Airport is best understood as a leisure gateway, not a freight one: it lives on tourism and domestic feeder flights along the Oaxaca coast and operates no dedicated cargo terminal. For forwarders that means goods reach the area mainly by truck over the winding mountain roads from Oaxaca City, with any air cargo routed through Mexico City (MEX). Supplying Puerto Escondido is therefore a road-and-inland-hub exercise rather than a local air-freight one. The airport's value lies in moving people to the Pacific beaches, not pallets.
