For a while, the airport did not have regular commercial flights. This happened after an airline called Aeromar stopped flying in February 2023. However, new flights started soon after!
On April 27, 2023, a new airline named Aerus began offering flights from Monterrey to Piedras Negras. This was great news for travelers in the area.
