Austin International Airport
Welcome to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Providing quality service, Austin style for travelers at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is our job. To fulfill this, we work daily to ensure a safe, clean, friendly, affordable, and efficient airport. An outdoor Family Viewing Area is located near the east runway at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Nearly one acre has been set aside to provide a vantage point for watching planes land and take off on the airport's 9,000 foot east runway. This viewing spot offers a paved parking area and picnic tables. Recommended viewing times include mornings from 6-11 a.m., afternoons from 1:30-3 p.m., and evenings beginning around 7:30 p.m. The airport's parallel runways are named for two distinguished politicians. On April 15, 1999, the Austin City Council dedicated the West Runway (17R/35L) to the late President Lyndon Baines Johnson, and the East Runway (17L/35R) to former Congressman J. J. "Jake" Pickle.
