Airport Name and ICAO/IATA Code
Puerto Vallarta (Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz) International Airport (ICAO: MMPR / IATA: PVR)
Location (City, Country)
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico
Airport Type & Size
Generic airport material me thinks, one runway, full taxiway to centrally located South East terminal with jetways. New terminal 2 being constructed which has a similar setup to CNN for the increasing volume of tourists. Terminal 2 could be added as part of generic airport for extra capacity as it is currently mid-construction, 54 percent as of August with it being open mid-2027.Can accommodate 747s up to the 400. Potentially could take the 8F but it never has.
Runway; 04/22, 3,100m, 10,171ft.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
It serves as a gateway to the Mexican tourist destination of Riviera Nayarit and the Jalisco coast year-round, offering flights to and from Mexico, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It would make for a first foray into Mexico and as a perfect candidate for a generic airport setup.
