MZT Aerospace
Strategic infrastructure for the future of the aerospace industry in Latin America
MZT Aerospace is a world-class industrial development redefining the aerospace landscape in Latin America.
Located in Mazatlán, Mexico — just 9 km from the port and international airport — this 200-hectare complex has been designed to provide a comprehensive ecosystem for manufacturing, maintenance, research, and experimental flights that meets the needs of the modern aerospace industry.
A strategic hub for aerospace innovation and operations
The complex features an exclusive 2.7 km private runway that enables aircraft testing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations, as well as experimental flights, with an unprecedented level of operational capability in the region.
MZT Aerospace’s design complies with the highest international standards, including LEED® sustainability criteria, integrating clean energy infrastructure, cutting-edge telecommunications, and advanced industrial water treatment systems. This ensures efficient, environmentally responsible operations ready for the future.
Competitive advantages and privileged location
MZT Aerospace benefits from Mexico’s strategic geographical position and international trade agreements:
- Mexico has 12 active free trade agreements covering 46 countries, easing preferential access to key global markets.
- Mazatlán’s location provides efficient connectivity to North America, Europe, Asia, and South America.
