History Tuxtla Gutiérrez International Airport

The first commercial airport to serve Tuxtla Gutierrez was inaugurated in 1957 in Terán, to the west of the capital. This small airport had capacity and technical limitations. Operations were moved in 1980 to the Llano San Juan airport in the neighboring municipality of Ocozocoautla; however, this location had adverse fog and wind conditions that made commercial aviation quite difficult. Several investments were made to counteract them (radio systems, a second runway) but they were unsuccessful, so by the end of the 90's, the old Terán Airport had to be used temporarily to carry out operations.

The build a third airport in the Tuxtla Gutierrez increased considerably in the 21st century because the existing air infrastructure did not fully meet the city's commercial air traffic needs. On 27 June 2006, the new Angel Albino Corzo Airport was inaugurated in Chiapa de Corzo. Investment reached 825 million pesos (72.2 million dollars), 49% federal and 51% state participation. As a result of the commissioning of this new airport, the Terán airport returned to its function as a military air base and the Llano San Juan airport completely closed its doors to commercial and civil aviation.

The opening ceremony was presided over by then President Vicente Fox Quesada and Governor Pablo Salazar Mendiguchía; the inaugural landing of Aviacsa's commercial flight 234 from Tapachula took place with a Boeing 737-201/Adv aircraft with registration number XA-TVL, captained by Jesús Uribe Romero. The first take-off was from that same aircraft to Mexico City.

Although it was designated as an international airport since its inauguration, it only obtained its official status on 21 July 2008. The first landing of a non-commercial international flight took place on 7 September of the same year, welcoming the Canadian national football team playing a match against the Mexican team at the Víctor Manuel Reyna stadium.

In November 2014, it was announced that the airport would be expanded to increase the terminal's capacity from 80,000 to 140,000 passengers per month. The next year, it reached the "one millionth" passenger for the first time in its history, on board Interjet flight 2601.

The largest aircraft ever received by the airport was the Mexican Air Force's Boeing 787-8, on 7 August 2017.

On 17 October 2020, with an investment of 437.6 million pesos, facilities were expanded with the construction of 13,000 square meters of ambulatory and commercial areas, four new points of contact, and a new apron.

Currently, the airport is connected to 8 regular destinations in Mexico and 1 in Central America, served by five commercial airlines. Volaris opened new flights to Mexicali and León/El Bajío in July 2023, while Aerus announced new flights to Ciudad del Carmen and Villahermosa for October 2023.Viva Aerobus will open flights to the new Felipe Ángeles airport in Mexico City by April 2024.
