About This Airport

The South Plains around Lubbock form the largest contiguous cotton-growing region on earth, and Preston Smith International (IATA: LBB, ICAO: KLBB) is the air link for this agricultural heartland and its university city, home to Texas Tech. Southwest and American connect the airport to Dallas, Houston and other hubs, while FedEx Express and UPS run feeder stations that move parcels across West Texas. For freight planners the picture is clear-cut: express uplift is available daily and charters can be handled on the airport's long runways, but volume air cargo trucks out to the Dallas hubs, roughly five hours away via US-84 and I-20. LBB is West Texas's express node, not its freight gateway.
