| 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.
