I looked at non-stop flights between Tijuana and Juárez, but it’s only served by Volaris once a day. Either there is not a lot of traffic between the two cities, or maybe there’s an opportunity to pick up traffic from Mexico as well?
Tijuana - San Ysidro is the single busiest border crossing in Western Hemisphere, perhaps the world.

Ciudad Juárez - El Paso is somewhat different as there are more crossings, including at least one or two pedestrian only bridges over Rio Grande, aka Rio Bravo del Norte (commonly just Rio Bravo) south of the border (very little known fact in Texas).
