✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
General Mariano Matamoros International Airport (CVJ) serves Cuernavaca and the state of Morelos from Temixco, about 10 km south of the city. Named after a Mexican independence hero, it is a compact facility with a single runway, handling general aviation, executive traffic, and limited commercial service. It often serves as a relief or alternate airport for the Mexico City area.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors treat CVJ as a quick-in, quick-out airport: eat before you arrive because food options are minimal, and pre-arrange your ride since taxis may not be waiting outside peak arrival times.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is in Temixco, about a 20-30 minute drive from central Cuernavaca via Federal Highway 95 or the Cuernavaca-Acapulco toll road (95D). Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the most reliable options; public bus service is not practical from the terminal. For Mexico City connections, allow extra time because traffic on the Mexico-Cuernavaca corridor can be heavy, especially on weekends and holidays.
