MCALLEN, Texas - There are positive growth trends at McAllen International Airport, according to City of McAllen Aviation Director Elizabeth Suarez.“We continue to report positive growth trends for this year. Our first slide shows a three percent overall growth from last year. The more important news is load factors are up approximately six percent. This is despite market seats being down slightly about four percent,” Suarez said, in her monthly power point presentation to the McAllen Economic Development Corporation's board of directors.“The next slide shows month to month activity. We continue to outperform 2019, which is a good baseline for us, again, reminding everybody that that yellow line, 2021, is an outlier right after pandemic travel had really ramped up.”Suarez said McAllen International Airport is outperforming last year by about three percent.

MCALLEN, Texas - Valley International Airport's decision to offer more routes for leisure passengers has helped the airport gain a greater market share.That is the view of Elizabeth Suarez, director of McAllen International Airport. Giving her monthly report to the McAllen Economic Development Corporation's board of directors, Suarez said the Harlingen-based VIA is, year-to-date, now neck and neck with McAllen for passenger volume. “Harlingen has done a great job at linking up market share. It is attributed to a lot of different factors. About two years ago they came in with a very aggressive plan to recruit new air services, primarily leisure services. We saw new routes to Monterrey, to Las Vegas,” Suarez said.Indeed, in April of this year, VIA outperformed McAllen, Suarez explained.Overall market year to date, McAllen captures 45 percent of the market share, with Harlingen at 43 percent and Brownsville at 12 percent,” Suarez said.

MCALLEN, Texas - The director of McAllen Aviation Airport says her airport is “doing phenomenally well” following the downturn in flights caused by the coronavirus pandemic.Elizabeth Suarez gave her analysis to the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service at a news conference held to announce a $5.4 million grant from the federal government. The money is being used to cover maintenance and operations costs.“We are doing phenomenally well. We are very excited. In April we announced a new service to Monterrey and to Nashville. Right after April and May we announced a new service to Guadalajara, connecting to Vallarta and it is going very well,” Suarez said, when asked how McAllen International Airport is recovering from the pandemic.“We have seen a 70 percent increase from last year and we are trending from April thru June higher than 2019, which was our highest year on record. It is good story to tell.”Suarez said she will have a better idea on long term projections come the Fall.“There were industry projections that this was going to take a lot longer. Leisure travel, like you said, the demand was there and that is what we are seeing now. The true test will be come Fall. Do we see business travel come back? If that comes back we are very optimistic about that will look like.”Suarez thanked U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez for helping to secure $5.4 million via the Airport Relief Funding process. Previously, McAllen International Airport received $4 million and $3 million in response to COVID-19.“Airports are a key component of not only infrastructure and economic development but just overall quality of life. We were hit so drastically during COVID. We were one of the first industries to feel a really heavy burden as we worked through this last year,” Suarez explained.Suarez said the new money is being used for operations and maintenance costs. “Even though we did not have many passengers, we still had to ramp up our maintenance costs and sanitation costs… to ensure we were compliant with CDC recommendations.”CDC stands for the Centers for Disease Control.

It is not a secret that on average, women in the United States are paid less than men for doing the same job. That is a big problem, and my initial reaction is to point the finger at the entire male population! But we are not going to put the blame on others in this episode. Instead, we are going to empower women to learn how to negotiate a higher salary and better benefits. My guest is Elizabeth Suarez, an expert in Alternative Dispute Resolution and Leadership. She spent more than fifteen years climbing the ranks of corporate America. Through her career and years of coaching professionals, she learned that we cannot blame men for this situation. On the contrary, we as women need to get mad at ourselves. According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, men make 20% more than women for performing the same job. To change this situation, women need to learn to negotiate better benefits, preferences, and salaries with prospective employers. Elizabeth has compiled years of expert advice in her new book, The Art of Getting Everything. Visit www.yezminthomas.com/take26 for more information
