El Paso Airport, ELP

During its seventy-three years of operation, El Paso International Airport has always been at the forefront of the latest aviation technology. In 1968, El Paso was the first in the nation to have a 130 foot air traffic control tower. Once again in 2000, El Paso was the first Air Traffic Control Tower in the nation to operate with STARS radar system, a system that upgrades the air traffic control system and enhances the safety of the flying public.

El Paso International Airport has been fortunate to be linked to an impressive past by maintaining a portion of the Butterfield Trail on its property, but El Paso is also on the cutting edge of the future by serving as the home of NASA's Training Center for Shuttle Astronauts. Practice landings on simulated shuttle aircraft are performed on a daily basis by astronauts preparing to venture out into space.

El Paso International Airport offers direct flights to the following cities:
Albuquerque, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Lubbock, Phoenix and San Antonio.
