Laredo is served by the Laredo International Airport.
Daily flights are available to Houston (George Bush Intercontinental Airport) and to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Tri-weekly flights to Las Vegas, Nevada are available.
After Laredo Air Force Base closed in the mid-1970s, the federal government handed over the old air force base and property to the City of Laredo for a new municipal airport.
From the mid-1970s until the mid-1990s, the airport utilized a small terminal for passenger airline service and several old hangars for air cargo and private aircraft.
A new state-of-the art passenger terminal was built along the then newly constructed Loop 20 to accommodate larger jets and to increase passenger air travel through Laredo.
Expansion of air cargo facilities, taxiways and aprons, air cargo carriers such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, BAX, and others have responded by adding commercial air cargo jet services.
Laredo also has two medical helipads, at Laredo Medical Center and Doctor's Hospital.
