Licenciado Miguel de la Madrid International Airport, known as Colima International Airport (CLQ), serves Colima, the capital of the state of Colima in western Mexico. It sits in the municipality of Cuauhtémoc, about 21 km northeast of the city. The airport was designated international in September 2025, when the Mexican Navy's airport group took over its operation.
Two airlines fly here. Volaris flies to Tijuana, by far the busiest route, and Aeroméxico flies to Mexico City.
The airport has one small, single-story terminal with check-in, security, baggage claim and an arrivals hall with car rental and taxi stands. The departure concourse has two gates, and passengers walk across the apron to the aircraft.
From the airport, travelers head into Colima city and on to Comala and the towns at the foot of the Colima volcano. Travelers bound for the beach resorts of Manzanillo usually fly into Manzanillo's own airport instead.

Colima has one small, single-story terminal, and you walk across the apron from the aircraft to the building.
Scheduled flights here are domestic, so you go straight to baggage claim without passing immigration. Collect your bags and walk into the arrivals hall.
The arrivals hall has the car rental counters and the taxi stands. The airport is about 21 km from the city, so plan your ride before you land: a pre-booked transfer, a taxi or a rental car. If you booked a transfer, your driver waits for you in the arrivals hall or just outside the terminal doors.
If you are heading to the beach resorts of Manzanillo rather than Colima city, check the distance before you book: Manzanillo has its own airport, Playa de Oro (ZLO), on the coast.
A pre-booked driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you to Colima city or Comala. It suits families and anyone with luggage.
Taxis wait at the stands in the arrivals hall. Confirm the destination before you set off.
Rental counters are in the arrivals hall. Useful for exploring the volcano area and the rest of the state.

Colima International Airport is about 21 km northeast of Colima city, in the municipality of Cuauhtémoc. Most travelers reach the city by pre-booked transfer, taxi from the stands in the arrivals hall or rental car.
Two airlines serve Colima. Volaris flies to Tijuana, the airport's busiest route by far, and Aeroméxico flies to Mexico City. Both use the single small terminal, where passengers walk across the apron to board.
Fly into Colima (CLQ) if you are going to Colima city, Comala or the volcano area. For the beach resorts of Manzanillo, Barra de Navidad or Melaque, Manzanillo's Playa de Oro airport (ZLO) is the usual choice and also has flights from the United States and Canada.
