In the early 1960s, the regional airline Aerolíneas del Sur operated a route between Chilpancingo and Puebla with stopovers at the now defunct Tlapa Airfield, Huamuxtitlán, Olinalá, Alcozauca, Tlalixtaquilla, and Malinaltepec.[2]
Situated at an elevation of 1,279 metres (4,196 ft) above mean sea level, it features a single asphalt runway, designated as 15/33, measuring 1,406 by 20 metres (4,613 by 66 ft). Adjacent facilities include small hangars, heliports, and unpaved parking positions for aircraft. The airfield is constrained by its location in a densely populated area of the city.
