The airport has repeatedly attempted to receive service from Mexico, the latest attempt being in 2005, where the airport had reached an agreement with the Mexican regional airline Aeromar, which was supposed to fly 2-3 times a week from Corpus Christi to Monterrey, Mexico on an ATR-42 aircraft and had received FAA approval for the route. The airline still needs FAA approval to fly into the United States, as this will be its first non-Mexican destination. (caller.com)
