Frequently asked questions
How long is the runway at MMOX?
MMOX has a single paved runway, 01/19, measuring 8,038 feet in length and 148 feet in width. The surface is asphalt. This length accommodates most business jet types operating into Xoxocotlán International Airport without runway-length restrictions under standard conditions. Dispatchers should still account for the airport's elevation when calculating takeoff and landing performance, since high field elevation reduces available runway performance margins.
What is the field elevation at Xoxocotlán International Airport?
Xoxocotlán International Airport sits at 4,989 feet above sea level. This is a significant factor for performance planning, since high elevation increases required runway distances and reduces climb performance for most aircraft types. Crews operating into MMOX should factor this elevation into weight and balance calculations, particularly during warmer periods of the day. The single runway's 8,038-foot length provides margin to help offset these density altitude effects.
How much business aviation traffic does MMOX see?
MMOX recorded 1,404 business aviation operations in 2025, out of 14,688 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. As a Mexican airport, this figure represents cross-border traffic seen by the FAA rather than the airport's full operational count. Traffic varies by month, with October showing the highest volume at 164 operations and June the lowest at 72. This places Xoxocotlán International Airport among Skystar's tier-one facilities for documented business aviation activity.
Is there seasonal variation in traffic at MMOX?
Yes, cross-border business aviation traffic at MMOX shows clear month-to-month variation according to FAA TFMSC data. October is the busiest month recorded, with 164 operations, followed by November at 136 and December at 144. June is the quietest month, with 72 operations, and August follows closely at 78. Dispatchers planning trips to Xoxocotlán International Airport should note this pattern when anticipating ramp and scheduling conditions during peak months.
