About General José María Yáñez International Airport

General José María Yáñez International Airport, known as Guaymas International Airport (GYM), serves Guaymas and the nearby resort area of San Carlos on the Sea of Cortez in Sonora, Mexico. It sits about 6 km south of Guaymas and is run by the federal airport agency, Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA).

Airline service is very limited. The only scheduled flights are regional ones by Aéreo Servicio Guerrero to Loreto and Guerrero Negro in Baja California Sur. The airport handled fewer than 8,000 passengers in 2025, and past routes to Mexico City, Guadalajara, Phoenix, Tucson and Los Angeles have ended. Most travelers to Guaymas and San Carlos fly into Hermosillo and continue by road.

The airport has one small, single-story terminal with check-in, security, baggage claim and an arrivals hall with car rental, taxi stands and shops. The departure concourse has two gates, and passengers walk across the apron to the aircraft. A naval air base shares the airfield, and the airport officially operates from 7:00 to 19:00.
