El Paso International Airport

El Paso International Airport is a public airport four miles (6 km) northeast of downtown El Paso, in El Paso County, Texas, US.
==History==

The city of El Paso built the first El Paso Municipal Airport near the east side of the Franklin Mountains in 1928. The airport was closed by 1945 and in more recent times has been home to the Jobe Concrete Products "Planeport" cement factory.〔http://airfields-freeman.com/TX/Airfields_TX_ElPaso.htm#elpasomuni〕
In 1934, Varney Speed Lines (now United Airlines) operated at the original El Paso Municipal Airport (now closed). The original El Paso Municipal Airport construction was inspired by a visit from Charles Lindbergh.
What became the present-day El Paso International Airport was built as Standard Airport by Standard Airlines in 1929 for transcontinental air mail service. Standard Airlines became a division of American Airlines in the 1930s. In 1936, American Airlines "swapped" airports with the city of El Paso and El Paso International Airport was born.〔
During World War II, the airport was a United States Army Air Forces training base. Units which trained at El Paso Army Airfield were:
* 385th Bombardment Group (Heavy) (B-17 Flying Fortress) December 21, 1942 – February 1, 1943
*
* Served with the 8th Air Force in England.
* 491st Bombardment Group (Heavy) (B-24 Liberator) November 11, 1943 – January 1, 1944
*
* Served with the 8th Air Force in England.
* 497th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy) (B-29 Superfortress) November 20 – December 1, 1943
*
* Served with the 20th Air Force at Saipan.
At the end of the war the airfield was deemed excess by the military and returned to the local government for civil use. The April 1952 C&GS diagram shows runways 4, 8, 12 and 17, each 7001 to 7062 ft long.
El Paso was the last stop of the first hijacking of a jetliner, a Boeing 707 owned by Continental Airlines. Before deregulation in the USA, El Paso was a focus city for Continental but was soon demoted to a standard station in a hub-and-spoke system under Frank Lorenzo.

The passenger concourses were built in 1971 as part of an expansion that tripled the size of the airport. It was designed by Garland & Hilles
Serving General Aviation at El Paso International Airport, Cutter Aviation established a Fixed Base Operation in 1982. Cutter Aviation moved to a new facility on Shuttle Columbia Drive in 2006. Atlantic Aviation also serves general aviation at ELP.
