## Description

Pipeline, ship, rail, truck, and only then, far behind, the aeroplane: that is the modal ranking in the Golden Triangle, where Jack Brooks Regional (IATA: BPT, ICAO: KBPT) serves the refinery cities of Beaumont and Port Arthur. The region hosts North America's largest refinery, Motiva Port Arthur (around 630,000 barrels per day), and the Port of Beaumont regularly ranks as the US military's busiest outload port. Scheduled flying is limited to American Eagle's three daily regional-jet rotations to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW); otherwise general aviation fills the apron, and the airport handles no air cargo. Freight trucks to Houston Intercontinental (IAH) in about ninety minutes via I-10. In a landscape built around crude and containers, BPT is a quiet runway.
