Many Rio Grande Valley residents may have family in Monterrey and may visit often.

Now, they won't have to travel by car or bus. Non-stop flights to Monterrey from the McAllen International Airport are set to kick off in late March.

Airport officials announced the new service on Thursday. The route will be operated by Mexico-based carrier, Aerus.

"For people from Monterrey and the region from Monterrey, it's one of the top destinations for both business, leisure and [visiting friends and relatives]," Aerus CEO Javier Herrera said.

The city says their goal for this move is provide travelers a convenient and efficient route to northern Mexico.
