Jefferson County Airport

Jefferson County Airport, serving the Beaumont–Port Arthur “Golden Triangle,” opened in the 1940s and operates from a single passenger terminal, making it a compact and easy-to-navigate regional gateway. The airport handles mostly regional and business travel for the local petrochemical and shipping industries, with connections to major hubs via regional affiliates of larger carriers rather than serving as a national hub itself. Located roughly 10–15 minutes by car from downtown Beaumont, it’s accessible via US highways with taxis, car hire and limited shuttle or bus options. Travelers often find fares, parking and shorter security lines more affordable than at bigger Texas airports, making it a convenient choice for cheap flights in the region.
