Ingeniero Alberto Acuña Ongay International Airport (ICAO: MMCP, IATA: CPE) is the main airport for Campeche, the capital of the Estado de Campeche in southeastern Mexico. It handles scheduled airline services as well as general aviation traffic, and its single well-lit runway and coastal setting make it an interesting and accessible destination for a VFR simulator flight.
The airport lies at Campeche, on the Gulf of Mexico coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, at an elevation of around 33 to 34 feet above mean sea level. It sits at approximately 19.816 N, 90.500 W, close to the city itself and the shoreline.
The airport has a single physical runway, 16/34, oriented roughly north-northwest to south-southeast. It is 8235 feet long, has a hard surface, and is lit for night operations.
Air traffic control is provided by Campeche Tower, callsign CAMPECHE TWR, on 118.5 MHz.
