Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Project No.: 3-48-0136-107-2024
Fiscal Year: 2025
Maximum Obligation: $1,532,905
Period of Performance: 4 years
The objective of the Master Plan is to assess the short, medium and long-term development needs for Laredo International Airport, paying particular attention to the runway system (replacement or other solutions for the deteriorating EMAS), cargo activity and growing passenger demand.
The last Master Plan was completed in 2015. Significant changes at LRD have occurred since then, including an increase in cargo demand, new aviation support development, changes in airfield geometry and an adjustment to the Airport property boundary due to roadway improvements along Bob Bullock Blvd.
This Master Plan Update will provide the Airport with a comprehensive roadmap for future development by integrating the Pavement Management System (PMS) with the preferred Airport Development Plan
