Ever heard of a reliever airport? Arlington Municipal Airport is one. It lies five miles south of Arlington, tucked away at the intersection of Interstate 20 and South Collins Road. It’s a vital part of the area’s aviation infrastructure, acting as a buffer for the bustling Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field. What makes Arlington Municipal Airport special is that it’s home to several companies providing aircraft services, like the Bell Helicopter division of Textron. It’s a testament to the area’s rich aviation history, with planes soaring overhead and a constant buzz of activity. Although the airport boasts a single, impressive runway, one thing that sets it apart is its lack of an IATA code. So, the next time you’re in the area, be sure to look up. You might just catch a glimpse of history taking flight, right here in Arlington.
