Matamoros Airport

Matamoros International Airport, opened in the mid-20th century, is a compact regional airport with a single passenger terminal that serves the northeastern Tamaulipas border area. Small but vital, it handles domestic connections and cross-border traffic to nearby Brownsville, Texas, making it a convenient entry point for travelers to Matamoros and surrounding towns. The airport sits a short drive from downtown with easy access by taxi, local bus and car rental, and is close to the international bridge for land crossings. Generally budget-friendly compared with larger Mexican hubs, it is served by a handful of domestic and regional carriers rather than acting as a major airline hub, making it a practical option for affordable flights and quick regional connections.
