The International Airport of Tuxtla Gutierrez "Angel Albino Corzo,"opened its doors to the public in June, 2007., and is one of the most recently inaugurated airports of the country.

The investment made for the construction of this airport was shared between the Federal Government (49%) and the local State Government (51%); the total coming to 825 million Mexican pesos.

Constructed to replace the older airport of Terán, and the Airport of Llano San Juan (both of which are now closed to commercial aircraft), this is the first airport in the country to divide the arrivals and departures areas for passengers on two levels to facilitate access to the installations; there is parking for up to 600 vehicles.

With the aforementioned investment, this airport can offer services to up to 800,000 people per year - for the moment - for national flights, however, there are plans to introduce international flights in the near future, so as to communicate the State of Chiapas with Guatemala and Argentina (to the south) and the United States of America (to the north).

The airport offers 5 points of contact, four direct and one remote, providing capacity for 350 operations on a daily basis.

Additionally, the airport has three taxiways: the A: 1,000 meters x 23; the B: 528 meters x 23; and the C: 490 meters x 23; as well as three platforms for the parking of aircraft.
