## Description

Around 25,000 aircraft movements a year, 86% of them general aviation: Drake Field (IATA: FYV, ICAO: KFYV) is Fayetteville's corporate and training airfield, not an airline gateway. It held that role once — Central Airlines and Frontier flew from here to Dallas, Memphis and St. Louis until Northwest Arkansas National (XNA) took over scheduled traffic in 1998-99. Today passengers drive 30 minutes north to XNA, while air cargo routes through XNA or Memphis (MEM). Home to the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, Fayetteville keeps Drake Field busy with business jets and flight schools.
