Mexicali International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Mexicali); officially Aeropuerto Internacional General Rodolfo Sánchez Taboada (General Rodolfo Sánchez Taboada International Airport) (IATA: MXL, ICAO: MMML) is an international airport located 20 kilometers east of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, near the U.S.-Mexico border. It is the northernmost airport in Mexico and serves the metropolitan area of Mexicali and the transborder region of Calexico-Mexicali. In addition to domestic flights within Mexico, the airport also facilitates domestic and international charter flights, flight training, and executive, and general aviation activities.^[2]
