## Description

Around 8,500 trucks cross from Nuevo Laredo into Laredo, Texas every day, making this the most important trade crossing in Latin America — but that traffic moves by road and rail, not through Quetzalcóatl International Airport. The airport itself handles only limited, mainly domestic cargo and has no large air-freight infrastructure. For forwarders the action lies in cross-border trucking along the NAFTA corridor and in customs processing at the land port. Air-cargo needs are usually served from Monterrey (MTY), about two hours south by road.
