Airport in Spanish is: Aeropuerto A colectivo is a minibus or van.
Taxi service from many Mexican airports to the city can be a rip off due to airport monopolies (Maybe $10-20 extra). Look for Colectivos (shuttle vans) that usually have a much more reasonable rate into town. Can be worth carrying your luggage outside the airport grounds and waiting for a non-airport taxi or bus to pass by.
