Name these US Airports from above

This airport at one time had an assortment of mainline aircraft serving it but it is now down to only two regional airline options. Due to sincere loyalty, one airline will always keep a presence here!

This new terminal was recently opened. Currently it’s only served by a single (practically intrastate) flight.

This airport would never be confused with the much larger one that shares the same city name it serves. Hint: It ain't PWM and PDX. :)

That was a tough one - this is Albert J Ellis Airport in Richlands NC, which happens to primarily serve Jacksonville NC. As the main city isn't in the name, it wasn't particularly easy to find.

Texarkana Arkansas! Very Cabela-esque terminal structure that - the practically intrastate was very helpful in limiting to state line cities.

This reliever airport located on a cul-de-sac doesn't bear the name of its larger neighboring metro area, but is the unlikely assignee of an IATA code that has likely confused many an international tourist searching for flights. This airport developed passenger service before its terminal, having operated out of a temporary hanger prior to the recentish construction of this terminal which now serves a surprisingly wide range of domestic destinations.

That was the goal and once you eliminate Columbus, Rochester, Columbia, Fayetteville, Wilmington, Charleston, Albany and Springfield you really have to dig deeper. Richlands, NC is a tiny tobacco farming town and just happened to have ample flat land to build a runway in 1971. Jacksonville and the surrounding towns owe their existence to Camp Lejeune. Nice effort Stlin and I choked on the "intrastate" clue and overlooked Texarkana!

Concord-Padgett Regional Airport 🇺🇸

This river city has hovered around 60,000 residents for the past 6 decades and its modern airport is the 4th busiest in the state.

This regional airport is served by one airline.
It has no connection that I know of to Stranger Things, although one could possibly link it to The Upside-Down.

Yes, that is this airports passenger terminal. Converted in the 70s from a WW2 miltary hangar, one of three still standing on this airfield, this terminal will continue to serve into the future as it is slated for expansion and renovation, but not replacement at this polity's second busiest airport - it sees regular mainline services.

Rafael Hernandez International in Aguadilla, PR. I'm glad to see that they finally added air conditioning to the hangar and I learned something new this evening. (y)

One of my favorite cities that punches above its weight with the exception of its rather lackluster airport. Served by two airlines and its primary runway can accommodate the big boys!

This regional airport currently has a single intrastate flight serving it.


The locale served is home to a beast of an employer.

Methinks I've been including too many clues! Let me guess, polity is what gave this one away?

I'm going to leave this one alone since I had it bookmarked, but that clue makes it really easy.

This very golden and shiny airport sees 3x daily roundtrips on a single regional carrier.
