About Adolfo López Mateos International Airport

Licenciado Adolfo López Mateos International Airport, known as Toluca International Airport (TLC), serves Toluca and the State of Mexico, and works as an alternative airport for western Mexico City. It sits about 10 km northeast of Toluca's city center and about 30 km west of Santa Fe, Mexico City's business district.

Scheduled passenger flights are all domestic. Volaris flies to Cancún, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Tijuana, and Viva Aerobus flies to Cancún, Mérida, Monterrey, Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos. Monterrey and Cancún are the busiest routes.

Arrival tips for Adolfo López Mateos International Airport

Toluca has one passenger terminal in use, a single-story building, and its gates open directly onto the apron, so you walk between the aircraft and the building.

Scheduled flights here are domestic, so most passengers go straight to baggage claim. If you arrive on a private or charter flight from abroad, immigration and customs are in the same terminal.

After collecting your bags, walk into the arrivals area, where you will find the car rental counters and the taxi stands. There is no regular public transport from the airport, so plan your ride before you land: a pre-booked transfer, a taxi from the stand or a rental car. If you booked a transfer, your driver waits for you as you leave the arrivals area.

Toluca sits at about 2,580 m, so if you are coming from the coast, take it easy on your first day and drink plenty of water.
