Ing. Fernando Espinoza Gutiérrez International Airport (IATA: QET, ICAO: MMQT) also known as Qurétaro International Airport is an international airport located in Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico. It was inaugurated on 28 November 2004 to replace the old airport in that same city, that was insufficient for the operations the city generated.
This airport is considered one of the modern airport´s in Latin America due to the high technological facilities that it offers, like the fully-equipped commercial terminal, the control tower, the tallest in Latin America, and its 4400-meter runway.
It's slowly generating traffic, as it is part of the Mexico City Metropolitan Airport Group.
Due to the small terminal, that apparently was insufficient the state government is planning to make a Bigger Commercial terminal, and add a Customs Faclity for Cargo.
Currently, there are direct flights to Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Tepic, Tapachula, and Houston.
