Airport contact
Despite its 'Internacional' name and Nuevo Laredo's status as the busiest inland US-Mexico trade crossing (World Trade Bridge), NLD's scheduled passenger service is domestic-only (Aeroméxico Connect to Mexico City-AICM, Viva to Felipe Ángeles-NLU) because of Mexican international-flight tax structures; it retains an active Aduana/customs section (est. 2005, operating 08:00-20:00) mainly for cargo and general aviation, and is the focus of a 2025-2026 government/industry push to relaunch it as a dedicated air-cargo logistics hub.
