Poza Rica Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Poza Rica); officially Aeropuerto Nacional El Tajín (El Tajín National Airport) (IATA: PAZ, ICAO: MMPA) is an airport located in Tihuatlán, Veracruz, Mexico. It serves domestic flights for Poza Rica and Tuxpan in Veracruz, while also supporting various executive and general aviation activities. Operated by Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares, a federal government-owned corporation, the airport takes its name from El Tajín, a pre-Columbian archaeological site in Northern Veracruz. In 2021, the airport handled 2,645 passengers, and in 2022 it handled 2,666 passengers.[1]
Facilities
[edit]
The airport is situated at an elevation of 151 metres (495 ft) above mean sea level, covering an area of 157 hectares (390 acres). It features a single asphalt runway, designated as 28/26, measuring 1,800 metres (5,900 ft). The commercial aviation apron spans 15,750 square metres (169,500 sq ft), featuring two parking positions for narrow-body aircraft and additional stands for general aviation. Official operating hours are from 7:00 to 19:00.
The passenger terminal caters to both domestic arrivals and departures in a single-story structure. It includes check-in areas, a security checkpoint, a baggage claim area, and an arrivals hall with car rental services, taxi stands, and several retail stores. The departures concourse includes three gates with direct access to the apron, allowing passengers to board their planes by walking to the aircraft. Adjacent facilities include parking areas, civil aviation hangars, administration offices, courier and logistic facilities, and facilities for general aviation.
Throughout the 90s and 2000s, Poza Rica Airport saw significant operations, largely driven by the substantial volume of passengers associated with the petroleum industry. While Aeromexico and Aeromar previously served the airport, all commercial flights were suspended by 2020.[2][3] However, in 2023, Aerus reinitiated flights to Reynosa, Tampico, Veracruz, and Villahermosa.[4]
