South Arkansas Regional Airport

South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field (ELD) is El Dorado’s small regional gateway, opened in the mid-20th century and operating from a single terminal that serves a mix of commercial, commuter and general aviation traffic. Compact but important for South Arkansas, ELD connects the surrounding towns and oilfield communities with convenient ground links, short drives to downtown El Dorado and on-site car rental and taxi options; limited public transit makes driving the easiest way to reach the airport. Not a major airline hub, it’s typically served by regional carriers and is known for affordable, easy-to-navigate service ideal for budget-minded travelers searching for cheap flights.
