๐ฒ๐ฝ San Felipe (Baja California), Mexico
San Felipe International Airport operates as a designated Airport of Entry serving Baja California's northern coast, featuring a single-story passenger terminal building with arrival and departure facilities, seamless boarding gates, and customs services for international operations. Located 11 kilometers south of San Felipe at 98 feet elevation, the airport maintains a single asphalt runway (13/31) measuring 1,622 by 30 meters.
Terminal infrastructure accommodates general aviation, executive aviation, and flight training operations through a 13,275-square-meter commercial aviation apron providing aircraft parking, helipads, and general aviation stands. The facility offers jet fuel services (subject to availability) and customs processing capabilities managed by state-owned Patronato para la Administraciรณn del Aeropuerto de San Felipe.
Operational focus centers on general aviation activities, private aircraft operations, and flight training rather than scheduled commercial service, though historical service included SeaPort Airlines flights to San Diego from 2014-2016. Current infrastructure supports charter operations, emergency services, and recreational aviation serving the fishing and off-road racing communities.
Strategic positioning provides essential aviation access to northern Baja California's coastal region, supporting tourism, emergency medical services, and cross-border connectivity while serving as a backup facility when Mexicali International Airport (182 kilometers north) experiences capacity constraints or weather limitations.
