[edit] Information
Because Acapulco has always been considered an important resort and recreation area, Juan Álvarez International Airport has long been important in the development of tourism in southern Mexico. It is the largest international airport in the country's southern Pacific region, and one of the largest air facilities in Mexico. Frequent flights are available daily from Benito Juárez International Airport in Mexico City as well as less frequent flights from other Mexican, American, and Canadian cities. The airport can accommodate jets up to the size of the Boeing 747.
This international airport is one of the top 15 airports in Mexico in terms of passengers and operations, receiving many international charter flights, as do Cancún, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa, Mazatlán, Huatulco, and Los Cabos.
The facility has many services for passengers, including restaurants, VIP lounges, and telescoping boarding gates, and is divided in two terminals, Terminal 1 and the Airterminal, which is a state-of-the-art concourse serving eight boarding gates.
