Las Cruces International Airport
LRU designates Las Cruces International Airport in southern New Mexico, a general aviation facility that despite its name does not currently host scheduled international airline service. It primarily supports private aircraft, flight training, business aviation, and some government or military-adjacent flying tied to nearby White Sands and Fort Bliss activity. The airport serves the Las Cruces metro area and the broader Mesilla Valley, offering an alternative to the larger commercial airport in El Paso, Texas, about 45 miles south. LRU's runways can accommodate a range of aircraft sizes, and the facility periodically appears in discussions of regional economic development and spaceport-adjacent aviation given New Mexico's growing commercial space industry.
