Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at MMAN?
Del Norte International Airport, also known by its ICAO code MMAN, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 02/20 is the longer of the two at 6,598 feet, with a width of 148 feet. Runway 11/29 measures 5,049 feet long and shares the same 148-foot width. Both surfaces are asphalt, giving crews consistent pavement conditions across either runway assignment. The longer runway provides the greater margin for larger business aircraft operating into this Monterrey-area field.
How much business aviation traffic does Del Norte International Airport handle?
Del Norte International Airport recorded 19,797 business aviation operations against a total of 22,599 operations in 2025, based on FAA TFMSC data. Because the airport sits in Mexico, this figure reflects cross-border traffic as tracked by the FAA rather than the airport's full domestic activity. Business aviation accounts for the large majority of the tracked total. Monthly volumes ranged from a low near 1,383 operations in June to a peak near 1,990 in April. Dispatchers should treat these numbers as a cross-border traffic indicator rather than a complete operations count.
Is there a seasonal pattern to traffic at MMAN?
Yes, MMAN shows a concentration of business aviation traffic in certain months rather than an even spread across the year. According to FAA TFMSC figures for 2025, April stands out with 1,990 operations, the highest monthly count recorded. Mid-year months such as June and September show comparatively lower volumes, near 1,383 and 1,396 operations respectively. This pattern is worth factoring into scheduling expectations for Del Norte International Airport during peak versus shoulder periods. The data does not indicate a specific cause behind the concentration.
What is the elevation at Del Norte International Airport?
Del Norte International Airport sits at an elevation of 1,476 feet above sea level. This figure matters for performance planning, particularly for aircraft operating during the warmer months of the year when the field's climate data shows average high temperatures near or above 90 degrees Fahrenheit from April through September. Combined with runway 02/20's 6,598-foot length, the elevation and heat profile together shape takeoff performance margins for business aircraft using MMAN. Crews planning summer operations should factor both figures into weight and balance calculations.
How far is Del Norte International Airport from Monterrey International Airport?
Del Norte International Airport, identified by ICAO code MMAN, lies 8.76 nautical miles from Monterrey International Airport on a bearing of 127 degrees. This proximity places MMAN as a close alternate within the greater Monterrey area. Other nearby fields include Plan de Guadalupe International Airport at 42.26 nautical miles and Agualeguas National Airport at 46.83 nautical miles. Rancho San Salvador Northeast Airport sits farther out at 48.94 nautical miles. This layout gives dispatchers several options for routing and diversion planning around the Monterrey metro area.
