Guadalajara GDL Airport Overview

Guadalajara International Airport GDL, also known as Don Miguel Hidalgo & Costilla Airport, served the Mexican State of Jalisco and its major City Guadalajara. It is managed by GAP, which was recently recognized as 'Super Empresa 2010'.

The Airport is located in the town of Tlajomulco de Ziniga, Jalisco State, and is 16 km from the city center of Guadalajara, Mexico. It is accessible via highway 23 towards Chapala, which is 15 km from the airport.  It is the third-busiest airport in Mexico.

With two runways at an elevation of 5,016 feet, and an estimated 7.4 million passengers in 2012, Guardalajara International Airport is a hub for Aeromexico Connect, secondary hub for AeroMexico, and focus city for VivaAerobus, Interjet & Volaris, and is served by domestic and U.S. airlines, as well as charters.
In May 2012 connections to Chihuahua & Puebla were added.
