CONCEPT
If the airports of Ciudad Juárez and El Paso operated as a single integrated system, they could transform the current dynamics of international air routes in the region.
To achieve this integration, a transportation system is required that ensures efficient travel times, security, continuity in the airport experience, and incorporates an immigration checkpoint at the border between both countries.

​

BENEFITS

• The airports would function as a binational international hub, connecting more than 26 destinations in both countries.

• The Juárez–El Paso region has a highly strategic location, connected to major cities in Mexico and the United States in less than 2.5 hours of flight time average.

• Many international trips could become domestic flights within each country, optimizing time and costs.

• Simplification of immigration and administrative processes by operating under frameworks equivalent to domestic flights.

• Greater flight availability and more competitive fares for users.

• Each country could open new air routes independently, avoiding bilateral restrictions and reducing the impact of geopolitical tensions or regulatory barriers.

• Direct boost to the economic, tourism, and social activity of the Juárez–El Paso region.
   

SUSTAINABILITY MODEL

• Currently, more than 39 million passengers travel annually between Mexico and the United States. By capturing just 5% of this flow, the binational hub could serve approximately 2 million passengers per year.

• With an estimated fare of $40 USD per trip on the elevated train system, projected annual revenue is close to $80 million USD.

• The estimated investment for developing infrastructure and equipment for the system approximately $400 million USD.
  
   

CONCLUSION
Ciudad Juárez – El Paso EXPRESS TRAM is an innovative solution that connects two airports, two countries, and multiple destinations, redefining air mobility at the border.
