About Ingeniero Juan Guillermo Villasana National Airport

Ingeniero Juan Guillermo Villasana National Airport, known as Pachuca National Airport, is the airfield of Pachuca, capital of the state of Hidalgo in central Mexico. It is run by the Municipality of Pachuca and sits at about 2,316 m above sea level.

The airport has no scheduled airline service. It is used for private flights, air taxis, flight training and general aviation, and charter or regional airlines have flown here only from time to time. The last regular route, a Pachuca–Mérida service by Mexicana's subsidiary Click, ended in 2009.

Facilities are basic: a small terminal building, hangars and an apron for light aircraft, with one 2,200 m runway.

Travelers going to Pachuca, Real del Monte or El Chico National Park on an airline flight usually fly into Mexico City's Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU), the nearest commercial airport, or Mexico City International Airport (MEX), and continue by road.
