Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at MMDO?
General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport, MMDO, has a single paved runway, 03/21, measuring 9,514 feet long and 148 feet wide. The surface is asphalt. This length accommodates most business jet types operating into Durango without runway-limited weight restrictions under typical conditions. Field elevation is 6,104 feet, which crews should factor into performance planning given the density altitude effects at this elevation. No parallel or crosswind runway exists at this field.
How much business aviation traffic does MMDO handle?
MMDO, General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport, recorded 1,412 business aviation operations against a total of 6,469 annual operations in 2025, according to FAA TFMSC data. Since MMDO sits in Mexico, this figure reflects cross-border traffic as tracked by the FAA rather than the airport's full operational count. Business aviation accounts for roughly a fifth of the tracked movements at this field. The airport falls into ops tier 1 in this dataset, reflecting a comparatively higher volume of tracked activity.
Does traffic at MMDO vary by season?
Yes, traffic at MMDO shows a clear seasonal pattern based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025. Business aviation operations climb from a low of 69 in February to a peak of 151 in June, with May and June forming the busiest stretch of the year. Activity tapers again toward the end of the year, with December at 95 operations. Dispatchers planning trips into Durango, MX should anticipate this mid-year concentration when scheduling around the airport's traffic patterns.
How high is the field elevation at MMDO and what does it mean for operations?
General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport, MMDO, sits at 6,104 feet field elevation, one of the higher elevations among airports serving business aviation traffic into Mexico. This altitude reduces engine and aerodynamic performance, particularly on warmer days, and crews should plan takeoff and landing performance calculations accordingly. The airport's 9,514-foot runway helps offset some of the performance penalty associated with high-elevation operations. Temperature data shows maximum readings reaching into the mid-80s Fahrenheit during May and June, which compounds density altitude considerations during those months.
What airports are near MMDO for alternate planning?
Several airports lie within roughly 100 to 165 nautical miles of MMDO, General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport, useful for alternate or diversion planning. Francisco Sarabia Tinoco International Airport sits about 106 nautical miles to the northeast.
