Route strategy
Guadalajara combines western Mexico inland delivery with a strong air-cargo market
Ocean freight to Guadalajara requires a Mexican Pacific gateway plus inland transport to Jalisco. Manzanillo can be evaluated for suitable container routes, with the final choice based on current service, customs and the consignee address.
Guadalajara International Airport is a major Mexican air-cargo airport and sits near an important industrial corridor. Air freight can therefore be practical for eligible urgent cargo when chargeable weight and delivery requirements justify it.
