1963 Tijuana Airport Scenery

File Description:
This scenery represents the airport of Tijuana, Mexico, the world's leading tourist attraction, circa 1963. In 1959, Rodriguez Field, as the airport was then known, was served by Transmar de Cortez, Aeronaves de Mexico, and Mexicana. By 1963, the Mexican government had ousted Mexicana from serving Tijuana, and Aeronaves de Mexico had merged with Transmar de Cortez. The Bristol Britannia was the largest equipment serving Rodriguez Field at this time. Aeronaves had a DC-6 service to Los Angeles, making this truly an international airport. For connections to the rest of the world, it meant making the long flight down to Mexico City and then connecting. By the late 1960s Aeronaves de Mexico had DC-8 fanjets in and out of Tijuana.
