What constitutes an airport in Mexico?


A place where airplanes can legally land. You cannot open an airport in
your backyard in Mexico that way you can in the US. All airports in
Mexico msut be approved by the gov't and receive regular safety
inspections by the gov't (even small dirt fields). The main reason for
this is probably for security since the military makes regular visits
to the few fields that do not have military on sight.
