Every flight out of AMA takes a team.

Check-in crews, TSA officers, gate agents, baggage handlers, ground crews, air traffic controllers, airport operations, maintenance teams, custodians, food service workers, parking attendants, rental car teams and airport police all play a part in getting travelers where they need to go.

Happy Labor Day!

We’re grateful for the people who keep AMA moving. We couldn’t serve so many travelers without your hard work, early mornings and commitment to this airport.

Thank you for everything you do!

Amarillo raised an astronaut.

Rick Husband grew up here, graduated from Amarillo High School and became an Air Force pilot before joining NASA. He piloted Space Shuttle Discovery on STS-96 and later commanded Columbia on STS-107.

Rick and his six crewmates were lost when Columbia broke apart during reentry in 2003. Their courage, curiosity and dedication continue to inspire people around the world.

AMA carries Rick Husband’s name with pride. His story will always be part of Amarillo’s story.

Traveling this Labor Day weekend?

Our parking lots are full and expected to remain full throughout the holiday weekend, so plan your trip to the airport before you leave the house.

If you can, have someone drop you off or use a rideshare service. And as always, give yourself plenty of time to get through the airport before your flight.
