About Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport

Overview

Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport serves the capital city of Yucatán state in southeastern Mexico. Located in Mérida at 20.930485, -89.645462, this large international airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the Yucatán Peninsula region. The airport's substantial runway configuration supports extensive commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 38 ft MSL, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime conditions characteristic of the Yucatán region. Pilots can expect generally stable atmospheric conditions due to the airport's coastal proximity and relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport. Seasonal wind patterns may influence runway selection, with two perpendicular runway configurations providing operational flexibility.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: runway 10/28 measuring 10,499 ft and runway 18/36 measuring 7,546 ft. These runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, from regional commuters to large international commercial jets. The extensive runway infrastructure suggests the airport is designed to handle significant passenger and cargo traffic for the Mérida metropolitan area.

Approach Considerations

With two intersecting runways, pilots have multiple approach options based on prevailing wind conditions. The longer 10/28 runway provides extensive landing and takeoff capabilities, while the 18/36 runway offers an alternative orientation. Pilots should anticipate standard tropical maritime approach considerations, including potential thermal activity and localized wind variations typical of the Yucatán Peninsula's geographic environment.
