Directory methodology
Codes and annual throughput, with the measurement basis shown.
IATA and ICAO identifiers. Cargo tonnage is shown in metric tonnes. Airports do not use TEU as an operating volume measure. Annual statistics can use different facility boundaries and reporting methods, so figures should be compared with the stated source and year in mind.
Published cargo throughput converted to metric tonnes where the original source used another unit.
TEU measures twenty-foot-equivalent ocean containers and is therefore omitted from airport entries.
Planning note: Directory figures support research and routing conversations. Confirm the terminal, carrier, customs release, appointment rules, operating hours, and current availability before dispatch.

Airport recovery
Connect the gateway to the inland freight network.
FreightXO can coordinate airport retrieval after cargo is available and released. Use LTL for eligible palletized freight or FTL for dedicated capacity, containers, larger shipments, urgent recovery, and specialized equipment.
Pickup checklist
Confirm release, freight, and delivery details.
Provide the exact terminal or handling agent, shipment reference, customs status, release number, availability date, and storage or free-time deadline.
Confirm piece count, dimensions, weight, commodity, container or vehicle requirements, hazardous status, temperature needs, and driver credentials.
Confirm pickup rules, cutoff times, destination appointment, unloading plan, empty return when applicable, and site access requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Mexico gateway and freight answers.
What does the annual cargo figure measure?
The measurement is stated on each card. It may represent cargo loaded and unloaded, landed weight, or total port-area throughput. Use the year and basis before comparing gateways.
Why is TEU not listed for airports?
TEU is an ocean-container capacity measure, not an airport cargo measure. Airport volume is therefore presented in metric tonnes.
Can FreightXO arrange gateway pickup?
FreightXO can coordinate airport retrieval or port drayage when the cargo is released, facility requirements are confirmed, and appropriate carrier capacity is available.
Does a port code identify the exact terminal?
No. Confirm the carrier, terminal, handling agent, customs office, appointment system, and release instructions. A city-level code alone is not enough for dispatch.
Official sources and review basis
Gateway selection and annual cargo measures use AFAC data. Codes were checked against the applicable national and international code systems. Values marked Not reported were not inferred from partial periods.
Reviewed August 12, 2026. Preliminary figures can be revised, and facility boundaries differ. Confirm current operating details before filing or dispatch.
