Los Cabos International Airport
Los Cabos International Airport, situated near San José del Cabo at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, has grown into one of the country's busiest airports for international arrivals despite serving a relatively small resident population, a reflection of the overwhelming volume of tourists bound for the twin resort towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. SJD handles a heavy concentration of charter and scheduled flights from the United States and Canada, particularly during winter months when travelers escape colder climates for the desert coastline where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean near the famous rock arch at Land's End. Luxury resorts, golf courses, and sport fishing operations line the corridor connecting the airport to both towns, an area often referred to collectively as Los Cabos. Tourism development transformed this once-remote fishing region over the past half-century into one of Mexico's most prominent upscale vacation destinations.
