Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport, International airport in Mérida, Mexico.
Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport is an international air terminal in Mérida with two floors and eleven gates. It includes check-in areas, baggage claim zones, shops, and dining options for travelers.
The airport began operations in 1929 when Mexicana de Aviación established flights between Mérida and Mexico City through several coastal cities. These early routes laid the groundwork for the facility to become a regional aviation hub.
The airport is named after Manuel Crescencio García Rejón, a prominent jurist and politician from the Yucatán region. This choice reflects the region's connection to important local figures.
The facility sits less than 5 kilometers from downtown Mérida, making it easily accessible from the city center. Continuous service is available throughout the day for passenger operations.
The Mérida Area Control Center within the facility manages air traffic for the entire southeastern region of Mexico. This operations center works behind the scenes to ensure safety for all flights across this vast area.
