Runway and operations
The airport sits at an elevation of 761 feet above sea level and operates a single lighted asphalt runway, 15/33, measuring 7,218 feet. That runway length is suitable for regular regional and domestic airline operations, while the lighting supports arrivals and departures in lower-light conditions. For passengers, a single-runway airport often means a more compact layout and less complex ground movement, which can make the overall travel day feel calmer and more efficient.
What travelers should know
Because CVM serves a smaller regional market, it is wise to confirm flight times, airline check-in windows, and ground transportation plans before traveling to the airport. Facilities are typically more limited than at major international gateways, so arriving prepared can save time, especially if you need cash, food, or a prearranged ride. Since the airport follows the America/Monterrey time zone, double-check local time when coordinating pickups, hotel arrivals, or onward bus and car journeys.
