Reynosa International Airport ( Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Reynosa); officially Aeropuerto Internacional General Lucio Blanco (General Lucio Blanco International Airport) ( IATA: REX, ICAO: MMRX) is an international airport located in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, near the Mexico–United States border. It serves the Metropolitan Area of Reynosa and the Reynosa–McAllen transborder agglomeration, facilitating multiple domestic destinations, cargo flights, flight training, and general aviation activities. The airport is the headquarters for Aerodavinci and is named after Lucio Blanco, a prominent figure of the Mexican Revolution. Operated by Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte, the airport handled 518,051 passengers in 2022 and 540,122 passengers in 2023. [1]
The airport is located within the Reynosa urban area, approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southeast of Reynosa's city center. Situated at an elevation of 42 metres (138 ft) above mean sea level, it features a single 1,903 metres (6,243 ft) long runway and an apron equipped with four stands capable of accommodating narrow-body aircraft.
The passenger terminal underwent a comprehensive renovation and expansion in 2021. The two-story concrete structure, covering a total area of 7,538 square metres (81,140 sq ft), is now capable of handling up to 1 million passengers annually. The lower level encompasses the check-in area, an arrivals hall with a baggage claim area, immigration and customs facilities, car rental services, taxi stands, and snack bars. The upper floor houses the security checkpoint and the departures concourse, featuring a commercial area, a VIP lounge, and four gates, one of which has a jet bridge.
Adjacent to the terminal, additional facilities include civil aviation hangars and designated spaces for general aviation. The airport's close proximity to the U.S. border makes it an appealing choice for cross-border travelers heading to Mexican cities. However, due to its close proximity to McAllen and the high transportation taxes for international flights in Mexico, the airport currently serves exclusively domestic destinations. Passengers traveling to destinations in the United States typically utilize the McAllen Miller International Airport.
