The airport is the headquarters for Aerodavinci and is named after Lucio Blanco, a prominent figure of the Mexican Revolution.

Adjacent to the terminal, additional facilities include civil aviation hangars and designated spaces for general aviation. The airport's close proximity to the U.S. border makes it an appealing choice for cross-border travelers heading to Mexican cities. However, due to its close proximity to McAllen and the high transportation taxes for international flights in Mexico, the airport currently serves exclusively domestic destinations. Passengers traveling to destinations in the United States typically utilize the McAllen Miller International Airport.
