## Description

Electronics, automotive parts and appliances from Reynosa's maquiladora plants make up most of what moves through General Lucio Blanco International (REX, MMRX). The airport lies in Tamaulipas directly on the US border opposite McAllen, Texas, and is operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA), in which VINCI Airports has held a substantial stake since 2022. Alongside domestic scheduled services, the operator lists cargo flights among the traffic handled, with customs clearance and warehousing available for time-critical industrial consignments. Passenger numbers fell to 441,178 in 2025 from 530,939 in 2024, a reminder that the local economy tracks goods flows more closely than travel. Trucking uses the Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge, the region's main commercial crossing, and the Anzalduas bridge towards Mission, Texas. For larger or intercontinental capacity, forwarders turn to Monterrey (MTY) some 220 road kilometres west, or to McAllen (MFE) and Harlingen on the US side.
