Celebrating 9 Years of Cross-Border Connection and Seamless Travels

This year, we proudly celebrate 9 years of Cross Border Xpress (CBX), the world’s first binational pedestrian bridge designed exclusively for air passengers. Since its inauguration in December 2015, CBX has transformed cross-border travel between Mexico and the United States, providing a faster, safer, and more convenient way to cross the border.

CBX: Connecting Communities, Saving Time

Over the past nine years, CBX has become the preferred border crossing for millions of travelers. With over 25 million passengers using CBX to connect through Tijuana International Airport (TIJ), the bridge offers an average crossing time of just 15 minutes, helping passengers bypass wait times of up to five hours at traditional border crossings.

Designed by the renowned Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta, CBX reflects a spirit of innovation and collaboration, inspired by the shape of a paper airplane. Today, CBX connects travelers from Tijuana International Airport to many destinations, offering a convenient, cost-effective alternative to flying from U.S. airports.

Why Choose CBX?

  • - Direct access to over 40 destinations in Mexico and four international destinations, including China and the U.S.
  • - Save up to 40% on airfare compared to flights from California airports like LAX.
  • - Spacious facilities with customs and migration services provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Mexico’s INM and Aduanas.

With CBX, crossing the border has never been easier, faster, or more cost-effective.

The CBX Experience: Built for Efficiency

CBX was designed to enhance the travel experience for air passengers, and our commitment to innovation shows. In 2022, the opening of the New Transit Processing Building (NEP) added over 420,000 square feet of processing space, increasing capacity by 83% to accommodate growing demand.

The facility also offers:

  • - 64+ daily shuttle services connecting CBX to 70+ destinations in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas.
  • - 8,500+ parking spaces to ensure convenience for travelers driving to the border.
  • - Partnerships with six major car rental companies at the San Diego terminal for added flexibility.

A Legacy of Growth and Impact

CBX has not only transformed how people travel but has also profoundly impacted regional economies. Since its launch, passenger traffic at Tijuana International Airport has grown from 1.5% to 17% annually, making it a key hub for leisure and business travelers.
