BROWNSVILLE / SOUTH PADRE ISLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FLYING INTO BROWNSVILLE’S NEW AIRPORT FACILITY in 2021 Written By Lynn Walker Hoverson
O
f the three main airports of the Rio Grande Valley, the Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport (BRO) is located furthest south in geographical placement. This makes it very convenient for the many travelers who pass through there, to and fro from the Four Directions. OSIYO! Welcome to the Rio Grande Valley!!!!! The multi-source funded $70.4 million, new terminal project at the new BRO AIRPORT facility has been innovatively-improved and expanded. Funds for the new terminal were obtained from Federal grants, local bonds, and passenger facility revenue. The City of Brownsville and the Department of Aviation are named owners, though, one could say that many national and local taxpayers are part owners of this facility.

Bryant Walker, the dual role-serving Assistant City Manager and Aviation Administrator for the City of Brownsville, Texas believes that change is coming to the City of Brownsville and that this new terminal provides the city and management team with the infrastructure to support that change. He became a part of the Airport project in 2016, the year the designing for the new terminal began. BRO, as it is designated by the Federal Aviation Administration, has passenger travel available. AMERICAN AIRLINES and UNITED AIRPLANES offer the available passenger flights. The relevant flight information can be quickly found on the flybrownsville.com website.
