## Description

Set in the Mesilla Valley along the Rio Grande, the Las Cruces International Airport lies near Interstates 10 and 25, the highway spine linking El Paso, Texas, with central New Mexico. The field serves general and business aviation, a flight school and occasional charters; it has no scheduled freight or dedicated cargo flights. Although rockets lift off from Spaceport America barely an hour away, the region's freight stays on the ground: the famous Hatch chile peppers and other farm goods travel by truck. Air cargo is handled at El Paso or at the Albuquerque International Sunport with its Foreign-Trade Zone 110. Las Cruces, home to New Mexico State University, is the state's second-largest city.
