General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport — Morelia, Mexico

Morelia, the capital of Michoacán state in west-central Mexico, is home to General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport (MLM), named for a revolutionary general and one of the principal authors of Mexico's 1917 constitution. Morelia itself is a UNESCO World Heritage city known for pink-hued colonial stone architecture, and MLM provides the main air link for visitors and the substantial Michoacán diaspora traveling to and from the United States. The airport handles a notable volume of traffic tied to migration patterns, with direct flights connecting Morelia to several US cities that have large Michoacán-origin communities. Domestically, MLM links to Mexico City and other major hubs, supporting both business travel and tourism to the surrounding region, which includes the monarch butterfly reserves that draw migratory butterflies each winter. The airport's relatively modest size reflects Morelia's position as a mid-sized regional capital rather than a major national hub.
