Why departing Toluca matters
Toluca's elevation (2,580 m / 8,466 ft) and temperature can affect takeoff performance, increasing the required distance and reducing the maximum takeoff weight available in certain conditions. On some flights it may therefore be necessary to limit passengers or baggage, or to plan a technical stop.
