## Description

Corpus Christi International (IATA: CRP, ICAO: KCRP) is an express and feeder station rather than a freight airport: its cargo backbone is a 45,000-sq-ft (about 4,180 m²) FedEx facility opened in 2010, the base of FedEx Ground in the Coastal Bend, alongside just over 700,000 passengers in 2024. No widebody freighter operations take place here, and air cargo effectively travels in the bellies of regional aircraft. American Eagle serves Dallas/Fort Worth, Southwest flies to Houston Hobby and United Express to Houston Intercontinental, while Frontier added a nonstop to Denver in October 2025. The Hayden W. Head terminal, opened in 2002, gives Gates 4 and 6 direct access to the US Customs and Border Protection office for international arrivals. Palletised non-express shipments continue by truck: roughly 230 kilometres up I-37 to San Antonio (SAT), or about 330 kilometres and three hours to Houston Intercontinental (IAH). Regional freight logistics are dominated by the seaport in any case — the Port of Corpus Christi moved about 206 million tonnes in 2024, including some 130 million tonnes of crude oil. Forwarders should treat CRP as a parcel and feeder point, not a heavy air-freight facility.
