In 2006, El Paso International Airport served a total of 3.4 million passengers. Of these 3.4 million passengers 3.3 million are classified as El Paso origin and destination travelers that are either beginning or ending their travel in El Paso. The remaining 1,000,000 passengers are connecting travelers on air carriers using El Paso International Airport as a connecting point between two other destinations.

As of 2006, El Paso International Airport has two carrier runways and one general aviation runway. The airport also includes a 288,000 sq. ft. cargo complex which is the border's most modern air cargo complex. The complex has an occupancy rate approaching 70% and is the only modern air cargo complex on hte border with immediate expansion capabilities, allowing a clear advantage in border trade and associated economic development issues. These new facilities are centered in a future indutrial park tailored to the "just in time" nature of US/Mexico trade.
