Abilene Regional Airport
Abilene Regional Airport, Regional airport in Abilene, Texas, US
Abilene Regional Airport is a commercial airport in Abilene, Texas, with two parallel asphalt runways that serve both airline and private aircraft operations. The facility supports daily regional connections to major metropolitan areas through multiple carriers.
The airport began operations in the 1930s as a stop on American Airlines' overnight service connecting Dallas and Los Angeles. This early route helped establish the location as a regional hub for air travel in West Texas.
The airport functions as a central gateway to West Texas, connecting regional communities and supporting local economic development through air transportation services.
Multiple carriers serve the airport with regular flights to larger regional airports. Visitors should check with airlines ahead of time to confirm available routes and departure times.
Texas State Technical College operates an aviation maintenance training school at the site where students learn aircraft service skills. This educational presence makes the airport an important training center beyond its role in passenger transport.

Around the world, thousands of airplanes, ships, and vehicles reach the end of their service life and are sent to storage or dismantling sites. These locations mark the final destinations of transportation machines: some wait in the Arizona desert where over 4,000 military aircraft are preserved thanks to the dry climate, others are anchored in Suisun Bay in California as strategic reserves, while still others are dismantled at industrial sites in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where workers recover metal from large commercial ships. Some of these sites have taken unusual forms: in Bangkok, former passenger planes have been converted into homes where residents live; in Alliance, Nebraska, 39 gray cars replicate the exact arrangement of Stonehenge. From Roswell to rusted wrecks in Staten Island and abandoned radioactive vehicles near Chernobyl, these locations tell the comprehensive story of machines that have transported generations of travelers and goods.
