This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for international arrivals.

Are there any wildlife or traffic hazards to know about near New Braunfels National Airport?
Birds have been reported in the vicinity of New Braunfels National Airport, KBAZ, and crews should stay alert for bird activity during approach and departure. Separately, high volumes of military aircraft operate at the Randolph AFB Auxiliary Field near Seguin, which lies close to KBAZ's traffic pattern area. Pilots operating in the region should expect this military activity as a factor when planning arrivals and departures around New Braunfels.
How does clearance delivery work at KBAZ when the tower is closed?
