Cuernavaca Airport (CVJ, MMCB) – General Mariano Matamoros International

Cuernavaca Airport, officially known as General Mariano Matamoros International Airport (IATA: CVJ, ICAO: MMCB), is located in Temixco, Morelos, approximately 15 km south of Cuernavaca and 90 km from Mexico City. This regional airport serves as a gateway to the city of Cuernavaca and surrounding destinations in central Mexico.

Airport Overview

CVJ is part of the Mexico City Metropolitan Airport Group, a network that also includes Mexico City International Airport (MEX), Toluca International Airport (TLC), Puebla International Airport (PBC), and Querétaro International Airport (QRO). Despite its smaller size, Cuernavaca Airport accommodates a range of aircraft with its 9,599-foot runway, which is suitable for turboprops, mid-sized jets, and select long-range aircraft.

Currently, VivaAerobus operates scheduled domestic flights, though the airport is also equipped to support private jet charters, international transfers, and government aviation. Its elevation of over 4,200 feet provides cooler air and scenic approaches along the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains.
