Port Isabel-Cameron County Airport (ICAO: KPIL, FAA LID: PIL) is a public airport in Cameron County, Texas, United States, serving the city of Port Isabel, Texas.[2][3] Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Port Isabel-Cameron County Airport is assigned PIL by the FAA and has no IATA designation.[4] IATA assigned PIL to Carlos Miguel Jiménez Airport in Pilar, Paraguay.[5]
The Port Isabel Detention Center, operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is located adjacent to the airport.[6]
The airport previously used the FAA LID of T31 until at least July 1992.[N 1] This designation was subsequently reassigned to Aero Country Airport in McKinney, Texas.[8]
