General Heriberto Jara International Airport

General Heriberto Jara International Airport (IATA: VER, ICAO: MMVR) is the primary commercial airport serving Veracruz, one of Mexico's oldest and most important port cities on the Gulf of Mexico. Named after General Heriberto Jara Corona, a prominent Mexican military and political figure, the airport handles both domestic and limited international traffic. The airport supports connections to major Mexican cities including Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, with select seasonal international services. It plays an important role in supporting Veracruz's economy, which is driven by its major seaport, tourism, and petrochemical industries. Located approximately 8 kilometers south of the city center, the airport is modest in size but serves as the main air gateway for the greater Veracruz metropolitan region and surrounding states.
