Monterrey International Airport, officially known as General Mariano Escobedo International Airport, is the main commercial airport serving Monterrey, the capital of Nuevo León state and one of Mexico's most important industrial and financial centers. It is the third busiest airport in Mexico by passenger traffic, handling tens of millions of passengers annually. The airport serves as a key hub for domestic Mexican routes as well as international connections, particularly to the United States, given Monterrey's proximity to the US-Mexico border and its large business traveler base. Its strategic location supports the region's strong manufacturing, commerce, and maquiladora industries. The facility has undergone significant modernization and expansion efforts over the years to accommodate growing passenger demand, and it continues to be operated under concession arrangements typical of Mexico's major airports.
