General Felipe Ángeles International Airport (MMSM) is a large airport in Mexico City, Mexico. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code MMSM or IATA code NLU. It sits in North America.
General Felipe Ángeles International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.
General Felipe Ángeles International Airport sits at 7,369 ft above sea level. At this elevation, density-altitude effects are significant year-round. Operators should plan for reduced engine performance and longer takeoff rolls on warm days, and many flight departments require runway-analysis software for departures.
Local operations run on America/Mexico_City. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.
