FUND PURPOSE AND GOALS
The Aviation Department oversees a system of airports, which include Fort Worth Alliance Airport (Alliance), Fort
Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham) and Fort Worth Spinks Airport (Spinks). The department is
responsible for airport operations, budget administration, grant administration, facility and land leasing and
capital project planning for all airports. Airport management oversees and maintains the airports infrastructure
in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations.
Alliance, constructed in 1989, is one component of a master-planned mixed use community known as Alliance
Texas developed by Hillwood. The airport serves as an inland logistics port with air, rail and trucking. Alliance has
two runways, precision instrument approaches and a 24 hour FAA control tower. The infrastructure and grounds
at Alliance are maintained by Alliance Air Management through a management agreement with the City.
Meacham, constructed in 1925, was the first airport in the Fort Worth system, and has a rich history of providing
aeronautical services to the community. The airport is named after H. C. Meacham, who was the Mayor of Fort
Worth from 1925 to 1927. Meacham was named the 2013 Airport of the Year by the Texas Department of
Transportation Aviation Division. Meacham has two runways, precision instrument approaches, and a 24-hour
FAA control tower. A large variety of companies that provide aviation services choose Meacham as a base of
operations.
Spinks became a part of the system in 1988 when the Oak Grove Airport was acquired from a private operator
Maurice Hunter "Pappy" Spinks, a renowned aerobatic competitor/promoter and aviation manufacturer. Spinks
has two runways, a precision instrument approach, and an FAA contract control tower. A variety of companies
that provide aviation services choose Spinks as a base of operations.
