Francisco Primo de Verdad National Airport (sometimes abbreviated as Francisco P.V. y R. Airport) (IATA: LOM, ICAO: MMOO) is a domestic airport serving Lagos de Moreno, in the Jalisco province of Mexico. The airport is named after Francisco Primo de Verdad y Ramos, a lawyer and politician.
History[]
The airport was built under the name "Francisco Primo de Verdad National Airport" during the six-year presidency of Carlos Salinas de Gortari.[3] From 1994 until 2000, it had commercial flights operated by TAESA, Mexico's third-largest airline at the time. There were regular flights to Mexico City, Tijuana, and at times also to Guadalajara and Zacatecas.[4] In 2012, there were plans to establish Lagos de Moreno as a cargo airport by Mexican investors.[5]
Since the closure of the national airport the facility is now being used as a privately held aerodrome by general aviation enthusiasts.
