Frequently asked questions
How long is the runway at MMJC?
MMJC has a single paved runway, 04/22, measuring 4,265 feet long and 131 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length constrains the range of jet aircraft that can operate without a fuel or payload penalty. Dispatchers planning into Jorge Jiménez Cantú National Airport should factor the high field elevation of 8,120 feet alongside runway length when computing takeoff performance.
How high is the elevation at Jorge Jiménez Cantú National Airport?
Jorge Jiménez Cantú National Airport sits at 8,120 feet above sea level, a high-altitude field by regional standards. Combined with the single 4,265-foot runway, this elevation reduces available takeoff and landing performance margins for turbine aircraft.

MMJC recorded 444 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 534 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data, which tracks cross-border traffic rather than the airport's full activity. Monthly counts ranged from a low of 17 operations in July to a high of 51 in November. This places the field in the moderate-traffic tier for dispatch planning purposes.
