Agualeguas National Airport

Agualeguas National Airport (ICAO: MMAL, AFAC: AGL) is an airport located 2 miles to north-northwest from Agualeguas, Nuevo León, Mexico. It currently operates as the 10th Air Force Station.

History and facilities

It was inaugurated in March 1990 by then-President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and on November 26 of that same year it welcomed the Mexican Air Force Boeing 757 "TP-01" and "Air Force One", carrying then-President George Bush, to sign the free trade agreement between Mexico and the United States.

It has a 2,850-meter-long and 30-meter-wide runway with turn ramps at both ends, two taxiways, a 27,600-square-meter aviation apron, hangars, and a control tower. On December 1, 2020, it was closed to civil aviation to become the 10th Air Force Station "Lieutenant Colonel Praxedis López Ramos."
