Airport guide
Los Cabos International Airport (MMSD) sits 18 miles north of San José del Cabo on the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, serving the Los Cabos resort circuit (Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, the Corridor). Commercial service is substantial (American, Alaska, Delta, United, Aeroméxico, WestJet) and the airport handles one of the highest densities of US-Mexico private-jet charter traffic in Latin America — Los Cabos is a structural premium-leisure destination for US UHNW travelers, particularly during winter season (November–April) and around major American holidays.
The two runways (16/34 10,007 ft and 06/24 5,249 ft) handle every current business jet on the main runway without restriction. Two FBOs (Signature and Mayan Jets) handle the private terminal operations. Mexican CBP handling is on-field, with the structural Mexican operational considerations (slot coordination, customs paperwork, the Mexican border-crossing entry/exit procedures that brokers and US operators should plan for in advance). Field elevation is 374 feet, no density-altitude concerns at sea-level elevation, though summer ramp temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. Hurricane season (June–November) is the dominant weather risk; the Baja peninsula has been hit by major storms in recent years and brokers should brief weather contingencies for hurricane-window bookings. Ground time to the Corridor resorts is 25–40 minutes; downtown Cabo San Lucas is 35–50.
