BRO Airport Overview
Brownsville/South Padre Island International BRO Airport is located 4 nautical miles east of the City of Brownsville, at the very southern tip of Texas. It is also 20 miles from South Padre Island, known for having one of America's best beaches, and 5 miles from Matamoros, Mexico, accessible via three international bridges in downtown Brownsville. The Airport serves the areas of the Rio Grande and Northern Mexico and is mostly used for general aviation, but with a long runway, it also offers commercial air service provided by Continental Express and American Eagle, with destinations to Houston and Dallas/Ft. Worth, and connections worldwide. The Airport has a new, full-service passenger terminal with four gates and offers free and secure parking with free shuttle service. To get to your destination, you have on-Airport rental cars available, or you can take either a taxi, the Rio Gulf Coast Shuttle or The Wave (South Padre Island).

The opening of Brownsville Airport coincided with an important milestone in aviation history: In March 1929, Charles Lindbergh landed in Brownsville after a five-hour, 38-minute flight from Mexico City, establishing the first leg of airmail service to Mexico. Amelia Earhart and a crowd of 20,000 greeted Lindbergh at the newly opened airport.
