Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length available at MMPC?
MMPC, Engineer Juan Guillermo Villasana National Airport, has a single paved runway, 03/21, measuring 6,825 feet long and 85 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length matches the airport's maximum paved distance figure, meaning no other runway offers a longer takeoff or landing roll. Dispatchers planning into MMPC should treat 6,825 feet as the operative limit for runway-length calculations at this field.
How much business aviation traffic does MMPC see?
FAA TFMSC data records 156 business aviation operations at MMPC for 2025, out of 184 total operations tracked, reflecting cross-border traffic rather than the airport's full activity level. This places MMPC in Skystar's tier 2 category, indicating moderate and somewhat variable traffic. Monthly figures ranged from a low of 5 operations to a high of 24, so planners should expect fluctuation rather than a steady baseline.
How high is the field elevation at Pachuca's airport, and does it affect performance planning?
Engineer Juan Guillermo Villasana National Airport sits at 7,600 feet field elevation, a figure that materially affects density altitude and aircraft performance calculations. Combined with daytime highs that stay in the high 60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit year-round, crews should factor reduced engine and lift performance into takeoff and landing planning at MMPC. No temperature extreme days above 90°F or below 32°F are recorded in the available climate data.
What other airports are near MMPC for alternate planning?
MMPC has several airports within range for alternate planning, the closest being Felipe Ángeles International Airport at about 24 nautical miles on a bearing of 213 degrees. Jorge Jiménez Cantú National Airport lies roughly 42 nautical miles away, and Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport is about 42 nautical miles distant as well. This clustering places MMPC within a dense corridor of options serving the greater Mexico City area.
