Mexicana de Aviación
Mexicana de Aviación (the SEDENA-backed relaunched state carrier) is the only scheduled airline currently serving PQM, flying to Mexico City-Felipe Ángeles since January 2024; no third-party ground handler is documented for the station, consistent with the common small-regional-airport pattern of the sole carrier self-handling its own flights, though this is not independently confirmed.
