Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport Gate A3

Owing to its proximity to the global HQ of Walmart, Northwest Arkansas is a booming area. This area boasts a modern, busy airport that is quite unusual for its small population. XNA is located located in Highfill, Arkansas, near Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Siloam Springs, Arkansas. It was a brand new airport when it opened in 1998, replacing Fayetteville's Drake Field. American and Eagle are the main operators here due to their contract with Wal-Mart. Unusual for an airport of its size, it has non-stop service to both coasts (Washington Reagan, Newark, New York Laguardia, and Los Angles), in addition to airline's major hubs; and it has mainline service with MD-80 flights to Dallas/Ft. Worth. American, American Eagle, Continental Express, Delta Connection, Northwest Airlink, United Express, and US Airways Express all serve XNA. A new concourse is under construction to support all this booming passenger growth. American even has a small maintenance hanger here.
