Sobre Xoxocotlán International Airport

Oaxaca International Airport (OAX), officially Xoxocotlán International Airport, serves the city of Oaxaca and much of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. It lies in Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, a southern suburb about 12 km from the city center, and is the arrival airport for the Zapotec site of Monte Albán and the craft villages of Teotitlán del Valle and San Bartolo Coyotepec.

Most flights are domestic. Aeroméxico, Viva Aerobus and Volaris link Oaxaca with Mexico City, Tijuana, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Cancún, Mérida and Querétaro. Aerotucán, which has its hub here, and Aerovega fly small aircraft to Huatulco and Puerto Escondido on the coast. International routes go to Dallas/Fort Worth with American, Houston with United Express and Los Angeles with Volaris.

All flights use one single-storey terminal. Departures have eight gates, where passengers walk to the aircraft along open-air walkways, and arrivals, with immigration, customs and baggage claim, are at the southern end of the building.

Consejos de llegada a Xoxocotlán International Airport

Arrivals are at the southern end of the single-storey terminal. You walk from the aircraft to the building, then, on an international flight, pass Mexican immigration first; have your passport ready, along with any documents your nationality requires. Domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim.

Collect your bags at the carousel for your flight, and report missing or damaged luggage at your airline's desk before leaving the hall. International passengers then go through customs.

The arrivals hall has taxi stands, car-rental desks, snack bars and souvenir shops. If you already have a booking, turn down unsolicited offers of transport and head for the meeting point in your confirmation.

The city center is about 12 km away. Oaxaca sits at about 1,500 metres, so evenings can be cooler than on the coast; keep a layer in your hand luggage.

Transporte terrestre

Most travelers take an airport taxi or a pre-booked transfer for the 12 km into the city.

  • Private transfer from Oaxaca airport

    A driver meets you in arrivals and takes you to your hotel in the historic center or elsewhere in the Oaxaca valley, including Monte Albán, Teotitlán del Valle or San Bartolo Coyotepec. The most comfortable choice with luggage or a group.

  • Airport taxi

    Taxi stands are in the arrivals hall for the ride to the city center, without booking ahead.

  • Rental cars

    Car-rental desks are in the arrivals hall, useful for touring the valley's villages and archaeological sites.

  • Small-plane flights to the coast

    Aerotucán and Aerovega fly from the same terminal to Puerto Escondido and Huatulco, a much shorter trip than the road over the mountains.
