General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport, airport
General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport is an aerodrome in Chihuahua, located about 13 kilometers northeast of the city center. The facility features a single-story terminal building with multiple check-in counters, seven gates, three runways, parking areas for vehicles, and separate sections for cargo and military operations.
The airport was named after Roberto Fierro Villalobos, a Mexican Air Force pilot who served in the 1920s and was born in Chihuahua. Since its establishment, the facility has undergone multiple expansions to handle growing passenger numbers and expanded flight operations.
The terminal is relatively compact but well organized, with clear areas for arrivals and departures, plus various shops and facilities. Taxis wait outside the building, and parking is available with options for short-term and longer stays.
The airport hosts Mexican Air Force Base 13, where military and civilian aircraft operate from the same facility. This dual civilian-military function is relatively uncommon in the region and contributes to the site's strategic importance.
