๐Ÿข Terminal Guide & Navigation

Piedras Negras International Airport (PDS) is a key regional aviation gateway located in the municipality of Nava, Coahuila, Mexico, serving the binational metropolitan area of Piedras Negras and Eagle Pass, Texas. The airport operates from a single, modern two-story passenger terminal building designed to facilitate both domestic and international traffic with high efficiency. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for the region's industrial and petroleum sectors, situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) south of the city center.

The terminal infrastructure provides a range of essential services across two levels, with check-in and arrivals handled on the ground floor and departure lounges located on the upper level. Travelers have access to basic amenities including a small buffet-style cafรฉ, vending machines for refreshments, and free Wi-Fi throughout the building. As an official international Airport of Entry, the facility features dedicated customs and immigration areas specifically designed to process cross-border travelers and private international flights.

Ground transportation to central Piedras Negras and the international bridges to the United States is well-supported by authorized taxi stands located directly outside the terminal exit, with the journey typically taking 15 to 20 minutes. Several major car rental agencies maintain modules within the arrivals hall, and the airport offers secure on-site parking for both short-term and long-term stays. The facility is primarily served by Aerus, providing critical domestic links to Monterrey and other regional hubs while maintaining significantly faster processing times than larger border airports.
