Laredo International Airport (LRD) is a public airport serving Laredo, Texas, a major U.S.-Mexico border city and one of the busiest inland ports of entry in North America. The airport is owned and operated by the City of Laredo and provides commercial air service primarily to large hub airports in Texas.
Despite Laredo's significant cross-border trade activity, the airport operates on a modest scale, with limited commercial routes reflecting the city's relatively small population and proximity to larger regional airports. It also supports general aviation, charter, and cargo operations.
The airport plays a supporting role in the broader logistics ecosystem of the Laredo region, which handles hundreds of billions of dollars in trade annually between the United States and Mexico.
