## Description

99,338 boarding passengers in 2024 and a further 9.8 percent growth through mid-2025 put Abilene Regional Airport (ABI/KABI) among the healthier commercial airports of West Texas — yet its air freight profile stays modest. Cargo moves as belly capacity on regional jets; no dedicated freighter terminal is documented at the field, which is owned and operated by the City of Abilene about three miles southeast of downtown. Two parallel asphalt runways of roughly 2,200 metres each serve American Eagle (Envoy Air) flights to Dallas/Fort Worth and United Express services, some five daily departures in total. For heavier or time-critical consignments, DFW some 290 km east along Interstate 20 is the practical air cargo gateway, with Lubbock Preston Smith (LBB, about 265 km northwest) as a second option. Customs clearance for international air freight is normally handled at DFW rather than in Abilene. Voters approved a USD 20 million bond in May 2025 which, together with up to USD 50 million in expected FAA grants, funds the ABINext terminal expansion; SkyWest adds United Express service to Denver and Houston from March 2026.
