Abraham González International Airport — Ciudad Juárez, Mexico

Directly across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, CJS handles air traffic for Ciudad Juárez, a sprawling border metropolis whose economy revolves heavily around maquiladora manufacturing plants and cross-border trade with the United States. The airport takes its name from Abraham González, a revolutionary-era governor of Chihuahua state remembered for his role in the early stages of the Mexican Revolution. Domestic routes link Ciudad Juárez to Mexico City, Guadalajara, and other major Mexican cities, while the airport's proximity to the US border makes it a practical alternative for travelers seeking to avoid higher fares or congestion at airports on the American side. Periods of heightened violence in past decades affected passenger confidence and airline scheduling at various points, though traffic has generally recovered alongside broader stabilization efforts in the region. Industrial parks ring the city, reflecting the manufacturing investment that continues to draw executives and technical personnel through the terminal on a regular basis, supplementing the steady flow of family visits across this heavily trafficked binational metropolitan area.
