McAllen-Miller International Airport (IATA: MFE, ICAO: KMFE) is an airport in McAllen, Texas, United States, located 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the central business district. The airport has 2 runways and one terminal with 5 gates.
According to the updated 20-year Master Plan for MFE, runway 13/31 will be extended to 10,000 ft. In addition, a parallel runway will be added. An expanded cargo apron will be on the south side of the airport. In early 2006, Gate 5 opened on the main concourse due to the arrival of Delta Connection. In 2008, a terminal capacity study will be conducted to assess the future needs of the airport and possible terminal expansion to include eight (8) gates, larger ticketing/office area, TSA security area queue. Paid parking at the airport was implemented on November 15, 2007 with the implementation of the Economy, Long-term and Short-term Lots. Airlines and destinations

Traffic
MFE is currently the busiest commercial passenger airport in the Rio Grande Valley metropolitan areas. The airport is also served by all three global alliances, Star Alliance, SkyTeam, and oneworld. In 2007, it served a total of 426,418 passengers, increasing to 735,108, in 2009, surpassing Valley International Airport in Harlingen by several thousand travelers. Following growth in commercial passenger service, MFE lost its only international flight in September 2007 - a daily Continental Express flight to Mexico City. After less than one year in service, it was announced that MFE would lose its only non-stop flight to Los Angeles, operated by Delta Connection partner ExpressJet Airlines, at the end of 2007. In December 2007, it was announced that Delta Connection would pull out of the McAllen market altogether on January 6, 2008, discontinuing its remaining two flights a day from MFE to Atlanta, operated by Delta Connection partner Atlantic Southeast Airlines. In March 2009, Delta, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Northwest Airlines, returned to MFE with operations to Memphis, operated by Northwest Airlink partner Pinnacle Airlines. Northwest Airlines had previously operated flights from MFE to Memphis starting in 2004. On September 7, 2010, Delta Connection partner Atlantic Southeast Airlines resumed service to MFE essentially taking over the non-stop MFE-MEM route from Pinnacle Airlines. On May 24, 2009, Allegiant Air commenced bi-weekly, non-stop service to LAX Los Angeles, in addition to non-stop service to SFB Orlando two (2) times a week, and non-stop service to LAS Las Vegas five times a week. On August 15th, 2009, Allegiant announced that it would cease to operate service from MFE to LAX after less than a year in service due to poor passenger load factor.
