Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport

Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport opened in 1929 and today operates a single passenger terminal, making it an easy-to-navigate regional gateway for the Texas Panhandle. Compact but important for northern Texas travel, the airport handles a mix of scheduled and seasonal flights and connects passengers to larger hubs rather than serving as a national hub itself. Located roughly 8 miles east of downtown Amarillo along I-40, it’s reachable by a short drive with rental cars, taxis, rideshares and limited shuttle/bus options. Fares and parking tend to be more affordable than major airports, and carriers serving the field include American (via American Eagle), United Express, Southwest and leisure carriers such as Allegiant.
