The two-story concrete structure, covering a total area of 7,538 square metres (81,140 sq ft), is now capable of handling up to 1 million passengers annually.

The upper floor houses the security checkpoint and the departures concourse, featuring a commercial area, a VIP lounge, and four gates, one of which has a jet bridge.

The airport's close proximity to the U.S. border makes it an appealing choice for cross-border travelers heading to Mexican cities.

However, due to its close proximity to McAllen and the high transportation taxes for international flights in Mexico, the airport currently serves exclusively domestic destinations.

Passengers traveling to destinations in the United States typically utilize the McAllen Miller International Airport.
