Monterrey International Airport, (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Monterrey); ceremonial name General Mariano Escobedo International Airport (IATA: MTY, ICAO: MMMY), is an international airport located in Apodaca, Nuevo León, Mexico. Together with Del Norte International Airport, the airport handles domestic and international operations for the city of Monterrey and its metropolitan area.

There are almost 300 daily flights to more than 35 destinations in Mexico and the United States. It is considered as the country's fourth most important airport in terms of passengers handled and operations per year, after Mexico City, Cancún and Guadalajara.

The airport serves as a hub for Aeroméxico/Aeroméxico Connect,[1] Magnicharters, VivaAerobus, and Volaris and a focus city for Interjet. Airport terminals were renovated and expanded in 2003 and 2007.

It's also one of the fastest growing airports in Mexico: in 2015, the airport handled 8,461,917 passengers, an 18.7% increase from 2014 that received 7,128,531 passengers.

The airport resides at an elevation of 1280 feet (390 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 11/29 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,000 by 45 metres (9,843 ft × 148 ft). A second runway which is rarely used is designated 16/34 and also has an asphalt surface with a stretch of 1,801 by 30 metres (5,909 ft × 98 ft). The main runway, 11/29, has an ILS approach system and has its own VHF omnidirectional radio range (VOR) and DME station. It is also capable of handling aircraft such as the Boeing 747-400, but due to the lack of remote positions, this airport is mainly used by smaller aircraft. In September 2014, Monterrey commenced its first intercontinental flight in years when Aeromexico begins flying its Boeing 787 Dreamliner four days a week to Tokyo-Narita as a fuel stop to flights between Mexico City International Airport and Tokyo-Narita. Aeromexico stated that the flight will last while Tijuana International Airport, the usual gateway to Mexico from Asia, makes improvements to its runway. Monterrey was selected due to its importance to the country's economy and for being a popular business destination.
