Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (commonly referred to as '''Meacham Field''') is an Airport in Fort Worth, Texas . The airport is located at the intersection of Interstate 820 and U.S. Highway 287 in northwest Fort Worth, near the downtown business district. HISTORY Meacham Field was established by the city of Fort Worth on May 23, 1925, after failed talks to establish a joint airport with the city of Dallas . The airport served the scheduled commercial airline service needs of the Fort Worth area until 1953, when Fort Worth transferred all commercial flights to Amon Carter Field, later known as the Greater Southwest International Airport . From 1953 to present, Meacham Field has primarily been used for corporate aircraft, commuter flights, and student pilot training. Meacham Field was renamed in 1985 to become Fort Worth Meacham Airport, and in 1995 the name changed again to Fort Worth Meacham International Airport. Meacham International Airport has two Parallel Runways and a crosswind runway. EXTERNAL LINKS |
