What runway length is available at MMQT?

How busy is business aviation traffic at QRO?
Business aviation traffic at Querétaro Intercontinental Airport, QRO, totaled 6,249 operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, out of 36,006 total annual operations. Because Mexico is a cross-border country in this data set, the figures reflect cross-border traffic tracked by the FAA rather than the airport's full domestic activity. Monthly bizav operations ranged from 438 in August to 733 in November. This places QRO in the top tier of documented business aviation fields by traffic volume.
Does traffic at MMQT show a seasonal pattern?

November stands out as the peak month with 733 operations, well above the monthly average across the rest of the year. Months such as August and June show comparatively lower activity, with 438 and 452 operations respectively. Dispatchers scheduling flights around November should anticipate a busier operating environment at this field.
How high is the airport elevation at Querétaro Intercontinental Airport, and does that matter for planning?
Querétaro Intercontinental Airport sits at an elevation of 6,296 feet, a figure that matters directly for performance planning at MMQT. High field elevation reduces air density, which affects takeoff distance, climb performance, and engine power output, particularly on warmer days. Combined with the airport's long 11,483-foot runway, operators generally retain a wide performance margin even at this altitude. Dispatchers should still factor density altitude into weight and balance calculations for flights departing MMQT, especially in the warmer spring months.
What are typical temperatures at MMQT throughout the year?
Average maximum temperatures at Querétaro Intercontinental Airport range from a low of 73.8°F in January to a peak of 87.6°F in May.

These figures give dispatchers planning flights to MMQT a general sense of seasonal temperature ranges for performance and comfort planning.
