Corpus Christi International Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) west of the central business district of Corpus Christi, in Nueces County, Texas, United States.〔 The airport's six-gate Hayden W. Head Terminal, which was designed by Gensler, opened on November 3, 2002 with a theme of "When the Sun Meets the Sea."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Corpus Christi International Airport, United States of America – Airport Technology )〕 The airport has repeatedly attempted to receive service from Mexico with the latest attempt occurring in 2005. The airport had reached an agreement with Mexican regional airline Aeromar which was planning on operating two or three times a week from Corpus Christi to Monterrey, Mexico with ATR 42 turboprop aircraft and had received U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) approval for the route. However, in a subsequent letter to USDOT, Aeromar stated it would not seek renewal of the permit to fly to Corpus Christi. Aeromar currently serves McAllen, TX with nonstop flights to Mexico City.〔http://www.aeromar.com.mex〕 In 1974, Texas International Airlines was operating daily round trip Douglas DC-9-10 jet service between Corpus Christi and Mexico City via an intermediate stop in McAllen, TX.〔http://www.timetableimages.com, March 1, 1974 Texas International system timetable〕 In 1967, Mexico-based Mexicana de Aviacion was operating nonstop Douglas DC-6 propliner service nonstop to Monterrey, Mexico three days a week with this flight offering direct one stop service to Mexico City.〔http://www.timetableimages.com, Oct. 31, 1967 Mexicana Airlines system timetable〕 The airport is frequently used by United Express and Southwest Airlines as a diversion station in case of weather problems in Houston. With the arrival of the Canadair CRJ-200 regional jet operated by Chautauqua Airlines in United Express service (with a considerable number of United Express flights being operated by Chautauqua in the region at the time), the airline established a crew base with approximately 75 pilots and flight attendants being based in Corpus Christi. However, Chautauqua then closed this crew base in November 2008 and their CRJs currently do not operate any United Express flights into Corpus Christi at the present time. All United Express flights currently serving Corpus Christi are operated with Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets flown by ExpressJet Airlines.〔http://www.united.com, June 20, 2015 United Airline system timetable, Corpus Christi flight schedules〕 ==National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) Classification== Corpus Christi International Airport is classified as a Commercial Service, Primary, Small Hub Airport. For Corpus Christi International to have a classification as a Commercial Service Primary Airport it must be a public airport with scheduled passenger service and must have an enplaned passenger count of at least 10,000 annually. The designation as a Small Hub Airport means that Corpus Christi International enplanes at least .05 percent, but no more than .25 percent of the total annual U.S. passenger enplanements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corpus Christi International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
