## Description

Reynosa's maquiladora belt — electronics, automotive and appliance plants — sets the cargo agenda at the General Lucio Blanco (REX). On the US border opposite McAllen, Texas, the airport offers customs brokerage, warehousing and secure freight storage for time-sensitive industrial shipments. It anchors the Reynosa–McAllen cross-border agglomeration, tying Tamaulipas manufacturing to US supply chains. OMA is positioning REX as a developing air-cargo node, with VINCI Airports a shareholder since 2022. Border bridges give close road access into Texas. The mix makes REX a reference point for border industrial logistics.
