About This Airport

Uruapan is the avocado capital of the world, yet most of Michoacán's fruit exports leave by road toward the US border rather than through Licenciado y General Ignacio López Rayón International Airport. The airport offers only limited, largely seasonal air-cargo capacity that must be booked ahead, with no dedicated freight terminal or scheduled freighters. For planned air shipments, shippers generally turn to Guadalajara (GDL) or Mexico City (MEX). On site, the airport's role is passenger service plus ground handling for ad-hoc consignments.
