Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport uses the IATA code ZIH and the ICAO code MMZH. The same airport serves both Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa, so search flights to ZIH whichever of the two you are staying in. It is the only commercial airport on this stretch of the Guerrero coast; Acapulco has its own airport farther southeast.

Zihuatanejo airport is about 16 km from Ixtapa and about 10 km from Zihuatanejo, so both resorts are a short drive from the terminal. Hotels around Playa La Ropa and the bay of Zihuatanejo are the closest. Taxis, rental cars and pre-booked transfers wait at the terminal for the trip to either town.

Volaris, Viva Aerobus, Aeroméxico Connect and Mexicana fly to Zihuatanejo from Mexico City, and Volaris also flies from Guadalajara, Tijuana, Querétaro, Morelia and Puebla. International flights, many of them seasonal, come from Los Angeles with Alaska Airlines, Dallas/Fort Worth and Phoenix with American, Houston and Chicago with United, and from Canada with Air Canada and WestJet.

Zihuatanejo airport has one passenger terminal with six gates, used by both domestic and international flights. Arrival is straightforward: immigration and customs for international passengers, then baggage claim and the public area with taxis and car rental. The terminal also has a VIP lounge, and parking is available on site.

Most international flights to Zihuatanejo are seasonal and run in the winter high season, when Air Canada, WestJet, Sun Country and United add routes from Canada and the northern United States. Some routes run year-round, such as Alaska Airlines from Los Angeles and American Eagle from Dallas/Fort Worth. Check schedules with the airline before planning a trip.

A common guideline is to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight from Zihuatanejo. The terminal is small, but international departures often leave close together in the winter season. Always follow your airline's own recommendation for your flight.
