## Description

Half the limes and a striking share of the avocados eaten in the USA cross the border within a few kilometres of McAllen — yet almost all of it travels by refrigerated truck, not by air. Miller International (MFE/KMFE) instead earns its keep with express traffic and cargo charters serving the Reynosa maquiladora belt directly across the Rio Grande, backed by Foreign Trade Zone 12 — one of the oldest inland FTZs in the country — and well-established CBP clearance. The passenger side hit a record in 2024 with over 1.2 million travellers, up 25% year-on-year, as Aeroméxico launched Mexico City (AIFA) service, Volaris added Cancún, and Aerus is due to begin daily Monterrey flights in March 2026. American, United and Allegiant link Dallas, Houston and Florida. For freight planners, MFE is a niche cross-border tool: fast and close to the factories, but never a volume play.
