Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (IATA: SLW, ICAO: MMIO) is an international airport located at Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico. It handles national and international air traffic from the metropolitan area of Saltillo and Ramos Arizpe.

This airport receives few flights a day due to its proximity to Monterrey's General Mariano Escobedo International Airport and Del Norte International Airport.

The international category was given back in 1987, when the runway was expanded to receive aircraft such as the Boeing 757, and the new terminal was opened with four boarding gates, a modern ticketing area, customs, migration, baggage claim areas, and a cafeteria.
