Drug cartel gunmen from the fearsome Sinaloa cartel have launched the violent raid in revenge for the capture of El Chapo's son Ovidio.
The cartel's armed wing has also set up roadblocks along the highways of Sinaloa to try and recapture the son of the notorious drug kingpin, who was seized earlier on Thursday.
Horror scenes show gunmen opening fire inside a commercial aircraft while it taxis along the runway at Culiacan, as terrified passengers desperately hide behind their seats.
A screaming baby can be heard in the background amid the gunfire.
Further footage shared on social media shows a convoy of cartel "sicarios" rushing to confront the Mexican Army following Ovidio's arrest.
Another clip shows a Mexican military aircraft landing at the airport amid heavy gunfire.
The Mexican airline Aeromexico has said that a plane meant to fly from Culiacan to Mexico City was hit by gunfire and has been cancelled for security reasons.
No information has yet been released on any possible casualties in the raid on the airport.
