Little Rock National Airport (IATA: LIT, ICAO: KLIT, FAA LID: LIT), officially Little Rock National Airport/Adams Field, is located 2 miles (3 km) east of the central business district of Little Rock, a city in Pulaski County, Arkansas, United States. It is Arkansas' largest commercial service airport, serving more than 2.1 million passengers in the year measured from March 2009 through February 2010. The airport attracts passengers from a large part of Arkansas as well as a number of surrounding states.
Although the airport does not have direct international passenger flights, there are more than 150 flight arrivals and departures at Little Rock each day, with non-stop jet service to 18 national/international gateway cities.
The regional jet made its first appearance at Little Rock National in 1997, with three daily flights by Delta Connection carrier, Comair, to Cincinnati. Comair has now been joined by other Delta Connection carriers as well as American Eagle, Continental Express, United Express, and US Airways Express in operating the regional jet at Little Rock. HistoryAdams Field is named after Captain George Geyer Adams, 154th Observation Squadron, Arkansas National Guard, who was killed in the line of duty on September 4, 1937.
American Airlines was the first airline to serve Little Rock when it first landed at Adams Field in June 1931.
During World War II the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Force Third Air Force for antisubmarine patrols and training.
In 1972, the airport unveiled its current 12-gate terminal.
On June 1, 1999, American Airlines Flight 1420 crashed upon landing at Little Rock National Airport on a flight from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, killing the pilot and 10 passengers.
In August 2008 the airport announced that it had approved a plan to renovate the terminal over a 15-year period. The central component of the plan would be to expand the terminal from 12 to 17 gates.
Facilities and Aircraft

The airport, from an approach road |
Adams Field covers an area of 2,000 acres (809 ha) which contains three runways and one helipad.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2005, the airport had 167,880 aircraft operations, an average of 459 per day: 42% general aviation, 23% air taxi, 15% scheduled commercial and 20% military. At that time there were 152 aircraft based at this airport: 45% single-engine, 32% multi-engine, 22% jet and 1% helicopter.
Terminal
 | |
Welcoming sign at terminal |
The airport has a single, elongated terminal building with 12 gates. Six gates are located along the length of the terminal (three on either side) and a circular area at the end has six more gates.
The terminal handles more passenger traffic than it was originally designed for. Nineteen planes are berthed every night, and the circular area - where Southwest Airlines, the airport's largest carrier, controls three gates - is especially vulnerable to crowds and long lines. The new terminal will have 17 gates.
Public transportation to and from the airport is provided by Central Arkansas Transit Authority (CATA) bus #12.[1]

Little Rock National Airport (LIT) is Arkansas' largest commercial
service airport, serving about 2.1 million passengers annually. The airport
attracts passengers from a large part of Arkansas as well as a number of
surrounding states.
 There
are more than 150 flight arrivals and departures at Little Rock each day,
with non-stop jet service to 18 national/international gateway cities,
making Little Rock truly one stop away from the world.
Little Rock National is served by American Eagle, Continental Express,
Delta, Delta Connection, Frontier, Northwest, Northwest Airlink, Southwest
and US Airways Express.
The Little Rock airport, officially designated Adams Field, has offered
commercial air service since June 15, 1931.
The Regional Jet made its first appearance at Little
Rock National in 1997, with three daily flights by Delta Connection carriers,
Comair, to Cincinnati. Comair has now been joined by other Delta Connection
carriers as well as American Eagle, Continental Express, Northwest Airlink
and US Airways Express in operating the Regional Jet at Little Rock.
 At
Little Rock National, we believe that we must build today to be ready
for tomorrow. A $3 million renovation of the baggage claim wing has been
completed and upgrades to the second level, including the concourse, are
now underway. During the past 14 years, almost $180 million in improvement
have been made at the airport to ensure that it will continue to well
serve the traveling public. The new Little Rock airport parking deck opened
in 2001. It is connected to the terminal via a skybridge, enabling customers
to go from car-seat-to-plane-seat out of the weather.
The space devoted to concessions at the airport has also been greatly
expanded, giving customers more choices from more locations. Airport restaurants,
gift shops and newsstands are located on the concourse level of the terminal
- both pre-and-post screening.
