Frequently asked questions
How long is the main runway at MMMD?
MMMD's primary runway, 10/28, is 10,499 feet long and 151 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. This length accommodates the full range of business jets operating into Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport, including heavy long-range aircraft. The airport's secondary runway, 18/36, measures 7,546 feet with the same 151-foot width, also paved in asphalt. Both runways provide operators with flexibility for wind conditions and aircraft performance requirements.
What is the elevation at Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport?
Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport sits at 38 feet above sea level. This low elevation is typical of the Yucatán Peninsula's coastal plain terrain. Combined with its long runways, the low field elevation supports strong takeoff performance margins for most business aircraft types. Dispatchers planning flights into MMMD can factor this minimal elevation into standard performance calculations without added density altitude concerns common at higher-elevation fields.
How busy is MMMD for business aviation?
MMMD recorded 3,290 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 33,588 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data on U.S. cross-border traffic. This places Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport in Skystar's top operations tier for documentation and traffic volume. Because Mexico traffic is tracked through FAA TFMSC, these figures reflect cross-border activity to and from the United States rather than the airport's full traffic count. Operators should expect an active operating environment consistent with a tier-one field.
When is business aviation traffic lowest at MMMD?
Business aviation traffic at Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport is lowest in July, with 170 operations recorded that month according to FAA TFMSC data. Traffic declines steadily from a spring peak through the summer months, reaching this July low before beginning to recover in August.
