How much business aviation traffic does Hermosillo International Airport handle?

Because the airport is in Mexico, this figure reflects cross-border traffic tracked by the FAA rather than the airport's full operational count.

The data comes from FAA TFMSC tracking of cross-border operations for 2025.
