About General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport

Tijuana International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Tijuana); officially Aeropuerto Internacional General Abelardo L. Rodríguez (General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport) (IATA: TIJ, ICAO: MMTJ), is an international airport located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of Downtown Tijuana. It serves Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, and the Metropolitan Area of San Diego-Tijuana, home to a population of five million inhabitants. The airport serves an extensive network of 42 domestic destinations including most of the major and secondary cities across Mexico. It is a hub for Volaris and a focus city for Viva Aerobus. Additionally, the airport houses facilities for the Mexican Air Force and supports cargo flights, tourism, flight training, and general aviation activities. Operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, the airport is named after General Abelardo L. Rodríguez, President of Mexico from 1932 to 1934. It is Mexico's westernmost airport and second-northernmost airport after Mexicali International Airport.

Situated adjacent to the U.S. border, Tijuana Airport is the only geographically binational airport in the world, having direct access to its terminal from Mexico, and from its Cross Border Xpress (CBX) terminal in the United States. This unique feature allows passengers with a boarding pass to walk across a bridge crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The CBX terminal handled 4,288,000 passengers in 2023, constituting approximately one-third of all passenger movements at Tijuana Airport.
