About Ixtepec Airport

Ixtepec Airport, identified by IATA code IZT and ICAO code MMIT, is a regional domestic airport operated under the broader framework of Mexico’s Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) network. Situated in the Oaxacan isthmus, the airport has historically supported both civilian and general aviation activity tied to the region’s agricultural, commercial, and energy sectors. Its runway of approximately 1,800 metres accommodates turboprops, light jets, and mid-size jets operating within their performance parameters for the field elevation and regional conditions. Customs and immigration formalities for international private arrivals can be coordinated in advance through Mexican authorities, with inspections typically conducted on the apron or in the general aviation area. The airport’s manageable infrastructure makes it a practical gateway for charter operations, provided flight planning accounts for the runway limitations.
