Mexico has a vast aviation network, with 1,527 registered airfields and 80 officially recognized airports as of 2025,[1] ranking 4th globally after the U.S., Brazil, and Australia.[2] Among these, 64 airports have scheduled commercial flights, with 37 handling both domestic and international passenger services, while 27 serve only domestic destinations. The country also has 20 Air Force bases, 10 Air Force stations, 13 Naval Air Bases, and 5 Naval Air Stations, most of which share facilities with civil aviation rather than operating independently. Additionally, hundreds of airfields and airstrips remain scattered across the country, many dating back to a time when limited road infrastructure made air travel crucial for connecting remote areas and supporting military logistics.[3]

Mexico’s airport system is managed by both public and private operators, with the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) overseeing regulations and safety. In 1995, the government launched a major airport privatization effort through the 'Ley de Aeropuertos' (Airports Law), transferring most state-owned airports to private operators: Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR), Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP), and Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA).[4] In 2023, the government expanded military involvement in infrastructure, creating the military-owned Grupo Olmeca-Maya-Mexica (OMM), which took over several previously government-operated airports.[5] A small number of airports remain under state control, managed by Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) and other public entities.[6]
