Hidalgo County passenger count for 2022 - 447,693 Cameron County passenger count for 2022 - 555,025
It's not even close.......why? Y'all should be dominating the airline industry like y'all dominate everything else in the RGV, right?

True that VIA shouldn't be beating BRO with the 3rd of the fraction... but BRO IS NOT ANTIQUATED...its a brand new airport built from the ground up.. not renovated or expanded.. we all know all airports hve UNITED N AA.... but harlingen will always hve Southwest .. they are regional hubs ... they will NOT open shop in MFE, or BRO.. and they CHOSE harlingen as their regional hubs... BECAUSE of its centralized location!! Even those ppl that say harlingen is NOT THE CENTER OF THE VALLEY 🤣... they will pull ppl from bothel ends of the VALLEY!!🤦♂️

Excellent point? What are we doing here? Y'all know dam well that Southwest Airlines carries most of the load at VIA, I believe more than 70%.......we don't have Southwest Airlines, neither do y'all. Almost everyone in the RGV flys Southwest. Again, y'all are the dominant county in the RGV, right? Y'all should be dominating the passenger count, not running 1% - 2% edge over VIA. It IS an excellent point. The fact that Hidalgo County has more residents has always been your argument. Well, Brownsville has over 100,00 more residents than Harlingen. Why isn't BRO beating VIA rather than barely making a dent?

Even when BRO's airport was an embarassment to airports, people still chose BRO over VIA. They chose VIA as their regional hub back when VIA was the dominant airport withlarger landing strips, room for growth, but not "centralized" lol. For the billionth time, Harlingen is NOT the center of the RGV.

VIA would crumble up and die were SWA decide to pull out of the RGV one day. 70% load is scary. SWA cut flights during the pandemic. It's done that in other places or pulled out completely. They're putting all their eggs in one basket.

Harlingen is NOT the center of the valley. Funny as the city named it self "capitol city" back in the day. Even the crest/badge on harlingen PD says "capitol city". What a trip.
