Taxis ? Leon Airport to GTO and Back???

[The Duck]

It is unlikely that you can get a cab or other transportation from the Leon airport which is called Ex Aeropuerto Nacional San Carlos de Le?n and located off to the side of the Puerta Milenio as you enter Leon. All that is left of the airport is the control tower and some of the hangers which have been converted to other uses. The current airport [opened in the 1990's and located in the city of Silao] is called Aeropuerto Internacional de Guanajuato [referring to the State not the City] and operating as AEROPUERTO DEL BAJ?O, S.A. DE C.V.

The secure taxis which are not from separate companies -there are just several booking desks- seem to be operated by the airport owner, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pac?fico, as they are painted the same in other airports [eg GDL, MLM, TIJ] operated by this group.

The gypsy cabs are something recent at BJX. Previously the 'secure taxi' was the only operator allowed. Federales patrolled and stopped any other taxi.

Even though the secure cabs are sort of a racket I think you are taking on extra risk using the gypsies .

From the thread title "Leon Airport to GTO and Back???" is this for a round trip ride or two separate journeys? and is the the starting point actually BJX? or is the order reversed? BTW the 'secure' cabs from the airport are not allowed to make any pick-ups from GTO or elsewhere which in part is justification for their higher price.
