Flights to Laredo
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Laredo is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Laredo International Airport (LRD), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,743 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Quetzalcóatl International Airport (NLD, 9 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laredo International Airport (regional) | LRD | 6 km (4 mi) | 8,743 ft | 508 ft |
| Quetzalcóatl International Airport (regional) | NLD | 9 km (6 mi) | 6,562 ft | 484 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,743 ft, LRD handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 508 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
