Guadalajara International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional de Guadalajara), also known as '''Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport''', is the third busiest airport in Mexico after Mexico City International Airport and Cancún International Airport . The airport is located 16 km from the city centre.

Guadalajara's International Airport is composed of two runways and two terminals.
It is also a major airport for connections, being a hub for Mexicana , Aerolitoral , and a secondary hub for Aeroméxico . Flights are offered to several destinations within Mexico, the United States , Canada , and South America , with connections to Europe .

The airport is named for Miguel Hidalgo , who began the war that brought Mexican independence from Spain. He has been called the "father of Mexican independence".

The airport is part of the Spanish holding group Grupo Aeroportuario Del Pacifico , which also controls airports at Tijuana , Hermosillo , Leon , Puerto Vallarta , Los Cabos , La Paz , Los Mochis , Morelia , Mexicali , Aguascalientes and Manzanillo .

The airport is being renovated and expanded under a project that will allow it to double its operating capacity by 2007. This renovation includes a new Terminal 1 concourse and four additional taxiways.
