Corpus Christi International Airport (IATA: CRP, ICAO: KCRP, FAA LID: CRP) is a public airport located five miles (8 km) west of the central business district (CBD) of Corpus Christi, a city in Nueces County, Texas, USA. The airport covers 2,457 acres and has two runways.

The airport's new six gate, 165,000 sq. ft. Hayden W. Head Terminal opened on November 3, 2002, with a theme of "When the Sun Meets the Sea".

The airport has repeatedly attempted to receive service from Mexico, the latest attempt being in 2005, where the airport had reached an agreement with the Mexican regional airline Aeromar, which was supposed to fly 2-3 times a week from Corpus Christi to Monterrey, Mexico on an ATR-42 aircraft and had received DOT approval for the route. The airline still needs DOT approval to fly into the United States, as this will be its first non-Mexican destination. (caller.com)
