Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport
700 S Minnesota Ave, Brownsville, TXWeb: Visit this site »
Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport is located at the extreme southern tip of Texas. Brownsville's downtown is a five minute stroll across an international bridge to Matamoros, Mexico and a 30 minute drive to South Padre Island. The small airport is served by Continental Express providing daily, nonstop flights to Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport. The airport's opening in 1929 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. Today, the crowds are gone and you'll just find a convenient gateway to southern Texas.
