International gateway to Mexico's historic Campeche state.

Location
Campeche, Mexico
Ingeniero Alberto Acuña Ongay International Airport, designated by IATA code CPE and ICAO code MMCP, serves the city of Campeche, the capital of Campeche state on the Yucatán Peninsula in southeastern Mexico.

Dining

Inside the terminal, food and beverage options are limited to a small café and snack counter, so arriving passengers are advised not to rely on the airport for a full meal. The historic downtown Campeche, roughly 10–15 minutes away, offers excellent regional cuisine including pan de cazón and seafood dishes. Several restaurants and local fondas near the malecón provide affordable and authentic Campechano fare.

Traveller Tips
  • Book taxis only from the official airport taxi booth to avoid overcharging.
  • The city centre is close — most rides take under 15 minutes during normal traffic.
  • Carry cash in Mexican pesos as card acceptance can be limited in smaller local transport and eateries.
  • Campeche's walled city gets warm and humid year-round, so pack light breathable clothing regardless of arrival season.
