Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at MMPG?
Piedras Negras International Airport, identified as MMPG, has a single runway, 12/30, measuring 6,655 feet in length and 98 feet in width. The surface is asphalt. This runway also defines the airport's maximum paved distance figure, meaning no other stretch of pavement on the field exceeds it. Dispatchers planning turbine or larger business aircraft should confirm performance numbers against this single-runway configuration, since there is no crosswind alternative on site.
Does MMPG have customs service on site for international arrivals?
Customs data is not confirmed for Piedras Negras International Airport in available records, and dispatchers should verify current clearance procedures directly with Mexican customs authorities before planning an international arrival at MMPG. No onsite attendance schedule or fuel information is confirmed either. Because MMPG sits close to the US border in Coahuila state, crews often coordinate clearance logistics well in advance given the cross-border nature of much of the traffic here. Confirming these operational details before departure is standard practice for this airport.
How much business aviation traffic does MMPG handle?
Piedras Negras International Airport recorded 2,579 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 2,730 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Because MMPG is located in Mexico, this figure represents cross-border traffic as tracked by the FAA rather than the airport's full operational activity. Monthly counts ranged from a low of 186 operations in November to a high of 249 in May. This traffic pattern gives dispatchers a sense of typical monthly volume when scheduling slots at MMPG.
Is traffic at MMPG concentrated in certain months?
Yes, Piedras Negras International Airport shows a notable seasonal pattern in its cross-border business aviation traffic. FAA TFMSC data for 2025 shows higher monthly operations in spring and late summer, with May at 249 operations and September at 247, compared to lower counts of 186 and 187 in November and December. Dispatchers planning flights into MMPG during these peak months may want to account for this higher relative traffic volume. The pattern is based strictly on the monthly operations data reported for the airport.
What are typical summer temperatures at Piedras Negras International Airport?
Piedras Negras International Airport experiences some of the highest seasonal temperatures recorded among airports in this region. Average maximum temperatures reach 100.4 F in June, 102.4 F in July, and peak at 103.3 F in August. These figures come from historical climate averages rather than same-day forecasts. Crews should factor these summer maximums into density altitude and aircraft performance planning, even though MMPG sits at a modest field elevation of 901 feet.
