Location
Toluca, Mexico
Adolfo López Mateos International Airport (IATA: TLC, ICAO: MMTO) is located in Toluca, the capital of the State of Mexico, approximately 63 kilometers west of Mexico City. It serves as an alternative gateway to the greater Mexico City metropolitan area and handles both domestic and international flights.
The airport is named after Adolfo López Mateos, a former President of Mexico who was born in the State of Mexico. It has historically been used to ease congestion at Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport, particularly during periods of high traffic demand.
In recent years, passenger volumes have fluctuated significantly as travelers weigh the trade-off between the airport's relative uncongestion and its greater distance from Mexico City's urban core. The rise of Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) as another alternative has further affected traffic at Toluca.
