Plan de Guadalupe International Airport, airport located at Ramos Arizpe in the state of Saltillo in Mexico
Plan de Guadalupe International Airport is an international airport in Ramos Arizpe, a location in Coahuila, Mexico, handling both passenger and cargo flights. The facility features a main terminal with check-in counters, waiting areas, and baggage claim, along with an asphalt runway for aircraft operations.
The airport received international status in 1987 when its main runway was expanded to handle larger aircraft. Following modernization work between 2014 and 2017, a second floor was added to the terminal and a parallel taxiway was constructed, significantly increasing the facility's capacity and operational efficiency.
The airport's name references a key moment from the Mexican Revolution, tying it to the nation's past. Visitors experience a welcoming environment where staff members are helpful and the layout guides you easily through check-in and departure areas.
The airport sits at an elevation of around 1,450 meters (4,757 feet), which can affect takeoff and landing under certain weather conditions. The facility is straightforward to navigate with clear signage and friendly staff ready to help you find your way and answer questions.
A notable feature is the Saltillo Jet Center facility on the grounds, which specializes in maintenance and repair work for large aircraft such as the Boeing 757 and 767. This capability attracts cargo operators like DHL and Mercado Libre, who regularly bring goods from North and South America to the region.
