Despite its 'Internacional' name and ICAO/IATA designation, REX operates as a domestic-only airport in current practice — no scheduled or regular international flights, and no functioning CIQ (customs/immigration) presence for arriving international pax, largely because of its proximity to McAllen, TX (a short drive across the border) and Mexico's international-departure tax structure, which pushes cross-border traffic to McAllen Miller Intl instead. Served by Aeroméxico Connect (Mexico City), Viva (Guadalajara, Mexico City/AIFA, Cancún, Veracruz) and previously Aerus regional links; a key node for the Reynosa/McAllen maquiladora and border-trade corridor.
