Gateway between Mexico and the United States at Nuevo Laredo.

Location

Nuevo Laredo, Mexico

Quetzalcóatl International Airport (IATA: NLD, ICAO: MMNL) serves Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, a major border city opposite Laredo, Texas. The airport facilitates both domestic and limited international air traffic for one of the busiest land border crossings in North America. Despite the enormous volume of cross-border trade and traffic in the Nuevo Laredo–Laredo metropolitan area, most travelers use the nearby Laredo International Airport on the U.S. side or opt for ground transport across the border. The Mexican airport consequently handles relatively modest passenger volumes compared to the region's overall economic activity. The airport is named after the feathered serpent deity Quetzalcóatl, reflecting Mexican cultural heritage. It serves as a supplementary air access point for commerce and regional connectivity in northeastern Mexico.

Terminals

The airport operates a single terminal building handling both domestic and international passengers.
