THE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT SYSTEM
Fort Worth has a long-standing commitment to aviation. From the landing of the first airplane in Fort Worth in 1915
to today, Fort Worth has understood and served the needs of the aviation industry. The city is home to Lockheed,
American Airlines, Bell Helicopter-Textron, Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and hundreds of other
aviation related businesses. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, owned jointly by the two cities and operated
by the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, stands as a symbol of excellence to which the city is committed.

An integral part of this dedication is exhibited by the City of Fort Worth's Aviation Department which consists of
three municipal airports. These airports and their individual characteristics are as follows:
