Hi Kipp,

While we have overflown it a few times recently, it has been a couple of years since we actually landed there. The new airport is located way outside of town requiring a long (and expensive) taxi ride both ways. The facilities are adequate and we would not categorize it as General Aviation Unfriendly. Being that this airport is considered federal property you can expect the presence of private security, military and federal police. We have overnighted at the new airport a few times with our own aircraft without any issues.

Be sure that you use current charts and information so that you do not mistake the old airport which was located very close to town with the new airport. Color aerial pictures, runway information and telephone numbers for the new airport can be found in our Pilot's Guide to Mexico and Central America Pilot's Guide to Mexico and Central America
