General Mariano Matamoros Airport, known by the designator CVJ, is in Temixco, Morelos, rather than central Cuernavaca. It may suit a Cuernavaca itinerary, but the airport operator does not identify current airlines or routes, so confirm whether a flight is available before making it your arrival point.
- Official name: Aeropuerto Internacional de Cuernavaca “Mariano Matamoros.”
- Location: Temixco, Morelos.
- From Hotel Juarez: about 9.7 km and a 40-minute drive.
- Operating hours: 7:00 to 19:00; confirm details with the operator before travel.
Where is General Mariano Matamoros Airport?
CVJ is in Temixco, Morelos, not in central Cuernavaca. The airport covers 110 hectares and is classified as an international airport. The operator calls it Aeropuerto Internacional de Cuernavaca “Mariano Matamoros”; after that full name, it’s simplest to refer to it as CVJ.
For historical context, the airport began operations on April 15, 1988, under the Government of Morelos, and Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) took over in 1992. Its runway measures 2,772 by 45 meters, and the airport sits at an elevation of 1,303.5 meters.
How can you check whether flights serve CVJ?
The airport operator says CVJ has infrastructure to receive commercial flights and base regional airlines, but does not identify currently operating airlines or routes. That means the airport’s international classification alone won’t tell you whether there is a scheduled passenger flight for your dates.
Before booking around CVJ, confirm the route directly with an airline or booking provider. The operator offers general-aviation services such as FBO, MRO, air taxi, aerial photography and flight schools, but these are not confirmation of scheduled passenger service or a ticketed route.
The airport’s operating hours are 7:00 to 19:00. Hours and passenger services can change, so check the official site before you go.
What ground transport can you arrange from CVJ?
Plan your onward ride in advance: the airport operator’s site does not specify official passenger taxis or shuttles, rental-car providers, or public-transport connections. Contact your airline or transport provider to establish what is available for your arrival, rather than assuming a particular service operates at the terminal.
The operator provides Jet A-1 fuel, ground operators, ground support and security among its complementary airport services. These are airport-side services, not a guide to passenger transfers. The site also does not state passenger-terminal accessibility features or services for passengers with disabilities; contact the airport operator before travel if you need to confirm arrangements.
How do you get from CVJ to Hotel Juarez?
Hotel Juarez is about 9.7 km from CVJ, with a drive time of about 40 minutes. Treat that as a planning reference, then confirm pickup and journey details with your chosen transport provider.
The airport has three commercial-aircraft parking positions; its general-aviation apron has space for 16 aircraft and 2 helicopters. Those facility details describe aircraft capacity, not passenger pickup arrangements. If your trip continues into the city, exploring Cuernavaca Centro on foot can help you plan what to do after arrival.
Hotel Juarez is the destination for this drive.
When should you compare other airports?
Compare alternatives if you cannot confirm a suitable passenger flight into CVJ. From Hotel Juarez, Licenciado Benito Juarez International Airport is about 138 minutes by car. Santa Lucía Air Force Base / Felipe Angeles International Airport is roughly 95.81 km from the hotel, while Licenciado Adolfo Lopez Mateos International Airport is roughly 58.23 km away.
These figures use different measures—drive time for the first airport and distance for the others—so they are not a like-for-like comparison. If CVJ is not suitable, getting from Mexico City airport to Cuernavaca is another arrival plan. Check the relevant airline and transport provider for the route and onward arrangements that fit your itinerary.
