I have coordinates 19.439339 -99.066803 for VOR MEX. But this lat & long place the VOR to the far north-east of the real VOR location shown on the image. Are the coordinates published correct or there is a problem with the coordinate system used?

Cheap flights, expensive shops. It's a nice airport though each terminal is quite small, and the new T4 didn't have wifi installed when we transited there at the end of March. Be prepared for heat if you go outside, and cold A/C if you remain inside. Airside shopping in T4 is fair but food is overpriced.
It is a standard airport with some international flights. Not too many people moving around. Mid point between Cancun and Mexico Southeast Region. Make should you get into the airport approved taxis or you might be into a little surprise /Force $$$ donation) using the street taxis that hang around the airport. The city is quite and there is an US Consulate. Hotel are good (usually US chain hotels). Tourist oriented city.
Small airport , very busy as it serves Pemex to move people around to their drilling / Production platforms via helo. Direct flights to Houston. Security is standard, for international flights be there 2 hours ahead, as they (Intl carriers) have a more strict security "check in" procedure. Baggage claim area is small, so be patient, as local and international flights may mix in the same area. Customs is piece of cake, just have your documents ready for the Migra people.
Reply to @dmomper: It's data that the CoPilot app for iPhone pays for which I'm not allowed to share with the rest of the world except through the iPhone app. I'd love to give a full dump to this site, but I'll have to settle for just manually verifying things people say in the comments.
As best I can tell, this airport has no actual code assigned. Doing a code search on IATA's site (http://www.iata.org/publications/Pages/code-search.aspx) for PNO yields no results. I suspect the airport might be closed. Can anybody else verify?
Hangar space is available by calling 647-428-0222 at Hacienda de los Santos Resort & Spa. Space is limited to singles and light twins with a maximum capacity of twelve aircraft. Ramp overnight fees are about 200 pesos per night which includes landing and parking per night. Very secure with a large military presence, all paved runway and two ramps, Windsock directly across from the tower and one on top of the hangar. Taxi service available by asking 'Daniel' at the tower to call a taxi, or complimentary service through Hacienda de los Santos, as well as complimentary hangar parking for hotel guests.
The world's first airport designed specifically for unmanned aircraft boasting a 2 ac 20,519ftΒ² runway, will be opening in Mexico, near Queretaro named " Alfa, Charlie, Union, Lima, Charlie, Oscar" as a first step in getting UAVs and drone pilots working together in the same airspace.
The purpose of this training and flight site is to figure out how to safely and ethically fly unmanned aerials systems in the national air space, just like a manned aircraft is flown.
The sky is literally the limit. The opening of various new aerospace plants in Mexico (since 2010) indicates the industry's confidence in Mexico's capabilities as the country's battered economy emerges from recession. Mexico has a fantastic climate diversity and large amount of air space located in areas that is very remote, where there is no chance of causing a safety problem.
MEXICO: SURPRISING LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
Drone prototypes continue to be developed and tested in Mexico. In other words, advanced unmanned commercial systems might as well have nowhere to fly at all. In the meantime, by not dragging its feet for another fifteen years, Mexico will draw unmanned systems developers that are serious about integrating their robotic systems into a national airspace to its shores for development and testing.
The industry is moving forward. Mexico will be the first country with drone airport, the very first flight, testing and training site.
