## Description

At Fort Smith the fast jets belong to other nations and the heavy freight belongs to the river. Fort Smith Regional Airport (IATA: FSM, ICAO: KFSM) shares its runways with Ebbing Air National Guard Base, home of the 188th Wing flying the MQ-9 Reaper alongside intelligence and space-targeting missions. Since 2023 Ebbing has hosted the U.S. Air Force's foreign-military-sales training centre for F-16 and F-35 pilots from Switzerland, Germany, Poland and Finland, with Singapore's aircraft announced to follow. On the civil side American Eagle serves Dallas/Fort Worth several times a day; the airline moved to larger regional jets and added a fourth summer rotation in 2026, lifting belly capacity, while passenger numbers ran about two percent ahead of the previous year through February 2026. There is no dedicated cargo terminal and no freighter operation. Air freight for the area is handled through Memphis (MEM) and trucked in on Interstate 40, with Tulsa (TUL) and Northwest Arkansas (XNA) as the nearest alternatives.
