It serves domestic flights within Mexico for the Brownsville-Matamoros binational metropolitan area, northern Tamaulipas and Southern Texas. It also supports various cargo operations, as well as executive and general aviation activities. Operated by Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares, a state-owned holding company, Matamoros Airport was named after former Tamaulipas governor Servando Canales. The airport handled 50,530 passengers in 2022, and in 2023 it handled 60,559 passengers.^[1]

Facilities

The airport is situated at an elevation of 8 metres (26 ft) above mean sea level, covering an area of 469 hectares (1,160 acres). It features a single asphalt runway, designated as 15/33, measuring 2,300 metres (7,500 ft). The commercial aviation apron spans 15,360 square metres (165,300 sq ft), featuring three parking positions for narrow-body aircraft and additional stands for general aviation. Official operating hours are from 8:00 to 20:00.

The passenger terminal caters to both domestic arrivals and departures in a single-story building. It includes check-in areas, a security checkpoint, a baggage claim area, and an arrivals hall with car rental services, taxi stands, and several retail stores. The departures concourse includes three gates with direct access to the apron, allowing passengers to board their planes by walking to the aircraft. Adjacent facilities include parking areas, civil aviation hangars, administration offices, cargo facilities, and facilities for general aviation.

The airport's proximity to the U.S. border makes it an attractive choice for cross-border travelers heading to Mexican cities. However, due to its close proximity to Brownsville and the high transportation taxes for international flights in Mexico, the airport only serves domestic destinations. Passengers traveling to destinations in the United States typically use Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport.
