I'd be very grateful for the information about the VOR (latitude, longitude, identifier, name, frequency, etc.) so that we can add it to the database.

Question: Did Cancun have two runways or did they build a new one?

If you are carrying electronics (laptop, camera, cell phone, iPod), don't check your baggage. It will be stolen!!!

Comment by @david on Ciudad Acuña Old Airport, Mexico:

I think you're right, Paul. I've added the new airport and move the codes over there. Do you happen to have an elevation for the new airport (MMCC)?

Comment by @ptomblin on Ciudad Acuña Old Airport, Mexico:

DAFIF has a different airport, "Ciudad Acuna Intl New", with the same ICAO code (MMCC) just a short distance away at 29.333917 -101.100892. Both locations look like airports in the satellite picture, although the other one has modern runway markings and this one doesn't. I wonder if this one has closed and re-opened at 29.333917 -101.100892?

Comment by @david on Francisco Sarabia National Airport, Mexico:

Paul: according to the Wikipedia page, it's GA-only now -- no scheduled airline service. I don't know how Mexico has sorted out identifiers, since the ICAO Guide gives only the city name, not the airport name.

Comment by @david on Francisco Sarabia National Airport, Mexico:

This airport handled scheduled airline service into Tuxtla Gutiérrez until May 2006, when it was superceded by Angel Albino Corzo International Airport. The new airport took over the ICAO and IATA identifiers from this airport. If you visited central Chiapas before May 2006, this is the airport you flew into.

Comment by @david on Angel Albino Corzo International Airport, Mexico:

This airport opened in May 2006, replacing Francisco Sarabia National Airport for scheduled airline service into Tuxtla Gutiérrez in Chiapas. It took over the ICAO and IATA identifiers from Francisco Sarabia at that time.
