5. They were gonna change the name of Laredo's airport to Henry Cuellar International Airport.

(You know that indicated guy?)

Anyway, it was gonna be too much work.

The plan to rename the entire airport after him was adjusted due to logistical concerns. Consultants informed council that it could cause confusion for people booking flights among other issues.

“When management approached the airport consultant, they did say renaming an airport becomes complicated because on the business side, when booking a flight to our airport, if they see the Henry Cuellar Airport, they won’t know where that is,” Saenz said. “So they strongly suggested we keep the Laredo International Airport name not to hurt our city economically. It’s also complicated from the standpoint of FAA rules and changes that need to be made.”

Laredo International Airport director Gilberto Sanchez also cited the amount of documentation that would need to be updated as a concern for a full airport name change.

“There are some regulations on the airport specific documents like the airport certification manual that we’d have to change, the airport emergency plan, the airport security plan, all the leases we currently have,” he said. “It is doable, but it is a lengthy process, and it is very complicated.”
