🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation

Lic. Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport (AGU) is the primary aviation gateway to the state of Aguascalientes in central Mexico. Located approximately 25 kilometers south of the state capital, the airport serves as a critical link for the region's thriving automotive and manufacturing industries. Operated by the Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP), the airport features a single, well-organized passenger terminal that efficiently manages both domestic flights to major Mexican hubs and international services to the United States via carriers like United and American Airlines. The terminal is designed for maximum functionality, providing a range of amenities that cater to both business and leisure travelers. Inside, passengers can find a variety of dining options, including the popular Wings restaurant, along with several cafes and snack bars. For those seeking a premium experience, the Caral VIP Lounge offers a quiet sanctuary with comfortable seating, workstations, and refreshments. The retail area includes duty-free shops and local vendors selling regional products, while modern facilities such as four jet bridges and high-speed Wi-Fi ensure a high level of passenger comfort and connectivity. Looking toward the future, AGU is currently undergoing a significant transformation as part of GAP's 2025–2029 Master Development Plan. This major investment project aims to nearly double the size of the departure lounge and increase total terminal space by 14%, reflecting the rapid growth of the Aguascalientes region. These improvements will add new aircraft stands and boarding gates, significantly enhancing the airport's capacity and operational efficiency. For travelers, the terminal remains a compact and user-friendly facility that combines local hospitality with international standards of service.

💡 Connection Tips

Connecting at Lic. Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport (AGU) is a straightforward process thanks to its single-terminal layout. Most international passengers arriving from the United States will clear immigration and customs at AGU before connecting to local ground transportation or domestic flights. For those departing, it is strongly recommended to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international departure to allow for check-in and security procedures. If you are transiting through AGU on separate tickets, ensure you have sufficient time to collect any checked baggage and re-check it for your onward journey, as the minimum connection time (MCT) should ideally be at least 90 minutes.

Ground transportation from the airport is well-managed and offers several options for reaching downtown Aguascalientes. Authorized airport taxis are the most reliable choice, providing fixed-rate service that typically takes 25 to 35 minutes to reach the city center. Ride-hailing services like Uber and DiDi are also widely available and can be accessed from designated zones. If you prefer more independence, several major car rental agencies have desks located within the arrivals hall. For the most economical connection, local shuttle services operate between the airport and major hotels, though these should be booked in advance. Always keep some Mexican Pesos (MXN) handy for small expenses, although the terminal features multiple ATMs and currency exchange bureaus for your convenience.
