Well-kept facility right in center city.
Two-hour ramp check by Comandante!
Easy base for visiting Real de Montes in the NE.
re: Baja trip
I was there a long time ago. I'm pretty sure they had fuel. May want to call and see. I don't know if it was an airport of entry as I went through San Felipe at that time. We went in February. I'm not sure if they are there with babies in October. We got to pet them though and it was a really great experience.
Airport closed

re: Baja trip
Reply to @Cpfau182: Planning to fly in here in October from San Diego for whale watching. Is there definitely fuel there? Also, is this an airport of entry or will I need to stop in Ensenada on the way down?
Runway A-OK (in the middle)
Longest DT that I’ve ever overflown (3300’), but that’s the crumbing half. The remainimg usable runway is in fine condition, far better than the ramp which will need a gingerly low-power taxi to minimize flinging FOD. Speaking of taxis, get that pre-arranged with your lodging because you are quite a way from the handsome town. We loved the Casona de Tete near the center. Only five rooms! A truly worthwhile, memorable stop.
OPEN and GREAT!!!
The easiest airport for quick, friendly AOE processing into Mexico. 100LL available. Best port of entry for GA in Mexico.
VOR MEX location is offset in the image
I have coordinates 19.439339 -99.066803 for VOR MEX. But this lat & long place the VOR to the far north-east of the real VOR location shown on the image. Are the coordinates published correct or there is a problem with the coordinate system used?

Great well maintained
Nice terminal and easy fuel
Nice but expensive
Cheap flights, expensive shops. It's a nice airport though each terminal is quite small, and the new T4 didn't have wifi installed when we transited there at the end of March. Be prepared for heat if you go outside, and cold A/C if you remain inside. Airside shopping in T4 is fair but food is overpriced.

Location
Runway is actually in Jalisco. Buenavista Tomatlán is in Michoacán.
Land here to see the whales
Gravel strip in good condition. No services. Nearest fuel is @ MMLT.
When the gray whales are in the lagoon, this is where to land to take a boat out to see them.
Airport / City Review
It is a standard airport with some international flights. Not too many people moving around. Mid point between Cancun and Mexico Southeast Region. Make should you get into the airport approved taxis or you might be into a little surprise /Force $$$ donation) using the street taxis that hang around the airport. The city is quite and there is an US Consulate. Hotel are good (usually US chain hotels). Tourist oriented city.
Travel comments
Small airport , very busy as it serves Pemex to move people around to their drilling / Production platforms via helo. Direct flights to Houston. Security is standard, for international flights be there 2 hours ahead, as they (Intl carriers) have a more strict security "check in" procedure. Baggage claim area is small, so be patient, as local and international flights may mix in the same area. Customs is piece of cake, just have your documents ready for the Migra people.
Airport name
The actual name in Spanish for this airport is "El Gallito"

Reply to @dmomper: It's data that the CoPilot app for iPhone pays for which I'm not allowed to share with the rest of the world except through the iPhone app. I'd love to give a full dump to this site, but I'll have to settle for just manually verifying things people say in the comments.
re: closed?
Reply to @ptomblin: Thanks for the quick confirmation! What is the EAD data that you refer to? Is this a publicly available source on airport info?
re: closed?
Reply to @dmomper: It was in EAD data up until 2015-06-29 with ICAO code 'MMPO", but now it's gone.
closed?
As best I can tell, this airport has no actual code assigned. Doing a code search on IATA's site (http://www.iata.org/publications/Pages/code-search.aspx) for PNO yields no results. I suspect the airport might be closed. Can anybody else verify?
Hangar...
Hangar space is available by calling 647-428-0222 at Hacienda de los Santos Resort & Spa. Space is limited to singles and light twins with a maximum capacity of twelve aircraft.
