Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (IATA: BWI, ICAO: KBWI, FAA LID: BWI) is an international airport serving the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area in the United States. It is commonly called BWI, BWI Airport or BWI Marshall, BWI being an initialism for "Baltimore/Washington International" and the facility's IATA Airport Code. The airport is located in northern unincorporated Anne Arundel County, about 10 miles (16 km) south of Baltimore and 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Washington, D.C. It is adjacent to the Linthicum CDP.[3] It is named after Thurgood Marshall, a Baltimore native and the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. BWI is a secondary hub for AirTran Airways and a focus city for Southwest Airlines and Cape Air. A record 21.9 million passengers traveled through BWI in 2010,[4] an increase of 4.7% over the previous year,[4] with July being the busiest month ever in the airport's history.[5] This makes BWI the 24th busiest airport in North America.[6] The airport was also ranked 47th in the world in total aircraft movements.[7] In 2010, BWI was ranked as the best airport of its size (15-25 mil. passengers) in the world by the Airports Council International based on its 2009 Airport Service Quality survey.[8] In 2010, BWI was ranked the second airport in North America by Airports Council International - North America for "Best Food and Beverage Program."[9]
History
This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2009) |
Planning for a new airport on 3,200 acres (13 km²) to serve the Baltimore/Washington area began just after the end of World War II, and ground was broken in 1947. Located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland next to where Friendship Church was razed,[10] Friendship International Airport was dedicated on June 24, 1950, by President Harry Truman. Regular commercial service started the following month. The Official Airline Guide for April 1957 shows 52 weekday departures: 19 Eastern, 12 Capital, 8 American, 4 National, 3 TWA, 3 United, 2 Delta and 1 Allegheny. Miami had a couple of nonstops, but westward nonstop flights didn't reach beyond Ohio; Baltimore's reach expanded when jet service started in 1958-59. The first Boeing 707s and Douglas DC-8s couldn't use Washington National, and Dulles didn't exist, so Baltimore became Washington's jet airport, with transcon flights.[11]
The State of Maryland, through the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), purchased Friendship International Airport from the City of Baltimore for $36 million in 1972. Under MDOT, the Maryland State Aviation Administration took over airfield operations and grew from three employees to more than 200. Plans to upgrade, improve, and modernize all Maryland airport facilities were announced almost immediately by the Secretary of Transportation, Harry Hughes.[12]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/KBWIDiag.png/220px-KBWIDiag.png)
To attract passengers from the Washington area, the airport was renamed Baltimore/Washington International Airport in 1973.[12] The IATA code remained "BAL" (another airport had "BWI") until it was changed to "BWI" in 1982. [citation needed]
The first phase of BWI modernization was completed in 1974 at a cost of $30 million. Upgrades included improved instrument landing capabilities and runway systems, and construction of three new air cargo terminals, expanding the airport's freight capacity to 2.53 acres (10,200 m2).[12]
The passenger terminal renovation program was complete in 1979, the most dramatic work of the airport's modernization. The BWI terminal more than doubled in size to 14.58 acres (59,000 m2); the number of gate positions increased from 20 to 27. The total cost of project was $70 million. To continue the work, the BWI Development Council was established to support initiatives for airport development.[12]
The BWI Rail Station opened in 1980, providing a rail connection to passengers on the busy Northeast Corridor though Amtrak. BWI became the first airport in the U.S. to be served by a dedicated intercity rail station.[13] In particular, the station provided relatively easy transit access to Washington, D.C., something Washington Dulles International Airport currently lacks. In the late 1990s, a new international terminal (Concourse E) was added, though Dulles continues to hold the lion's share of the region's international flights, and BWI has not attracted many long-haul international carriers. Air Jamaica and British Airways have had a presence at BWI for many years. AerLingus, Air Aruba, Air Greenland, El Al, Ghana Airways, Icelandair, KLM, Ladeco, and Mexicana previously flew to BWI. Military flights, operated by the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command, continue to have a significant presence at BWI.[citation needed]
Beginning in the 1980s, and later for much of the 1990s, BWI was a major hub for Piedmont Airlines and successor US Airways, but that airline's financial difficulties in the wake of the dot-com bust, the September 11 attacks, and intense low fare competition forced it to significantly reduce its presence at the airport. The airport has been a major haven for low-cost flights in the Baltimore/Washington Metropolitan Area since Southwest Airlines' arrival in September 1993 and subsequent expansion in the early 2000s. Southwest is now the airport's largest carrier, accounting for 51.90% of passengers carried in 2008.[14] In terms of daily departures BWI is now Southwest's 4th most-served destination.[15] Other major airlines with a significant presence at the airport are AirTran (13.98%), Delta Air Lines (7.12%), US Airways (6.48%) and United Airlines (5.74%). BWI has International flights to London, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean and domestic flights around the United States.
To accommodate Southwest's extensive presence at the airport, in 2005 Concourses A and B were expanded, renovated, and integrated with one another to house all of that airline's operations there. This new facility opened on May 22, 2005. On October 1 of that year, the airport was renamed again, to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, to honor the former US Supreme Court justice, who grew up in Baltimore.[16]
The more recent renaming has not resulted in a change to the IATA and ICAO locater codes.[citation needed]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Bwiairportmap.png/220px-Bwiairportmap.png)
The airport has been a backdrop in numerous films, including The Silence of the Lambs, Goldfinger, Broadcast News, and Twelve Monkeys.
In late 2008, Health magazine named BWI the second healthiest airport in the United States.[17] In 2009 the airport had a six percent increase in air travelers due to the proliferation of discount flights.[18] In a 2009 survey of airport service quality by Airports Council International, BWI was the world's top ranking airport in the 15-to-25-million-passenger category.[19] BWI also ranked seventh, in medium sized airports, based on customer satisfaction conducted by J.D Power and Associates.[20]
In September 2010, Southwest Airlines announced its intent to acquire AirTran Airways, both of which have large presences at BWI. If the merger proceeds, Southwest will continue be the largest carrier at the airport.
Terminals
Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport has five concourses, though Concourses A and B were essentially merged into a single concourse in the renovations completed in 2005.[citation needed] The Maryland Aviation Administration has its headquarters on the third floor of the terminal building.[21]

There were 75 aircraft based at the airport: 45 single engine, 19 multi-engine, and 11 jets.[27] With winds from the north or west, aircraft will generally land on runway 33L and depart on runway 28. When the winds are from the south or east, arrivals are on runway 10 and departures are on runway 15R. Use of the smaller parallel runway (33R/15L) is restricted to smaller propeller-driven aircraft and small corporate jets. Runway 4/22 is closed for landings and takeoffs however it is used for taxing and turnoffs. The largest planes that land at BWI are Boeing 757's, Mcdonell Douglas DC-10-30's, and British Airways' Boeing 767.
Ground transportation
BWI was ranked one of the "Top 10 Easiest U.S. Airports to Get to" by Aviation.com in 2007 [28] and is one of a small[citation needed] number of airports with a light rail station in the main terminal.
Rail
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Baltimore_light_rail_at_BWI.agr.jpg/220px-Baltimore_light_rail_at_BWI.agr.jpg)
BWI Rail Station is located about a mile from the airport terminal; a free shuttle bus connects the train station and airport terminals. The station is served by Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains and, on weekdays, by the MARC Penn Line. Travel time by train is about ten minutes to Baltimore's Penn Station and thirty-five minutes to Union Station in Washington, D.C. Trains depart at least once an hour seven days a week, with departure times during rush hours and business hours being significantly more frequent.[29]
The Maryland Transit Administration's Light Rail line has a stop just outside the entrance to the airport's International Terminal. Passengers can take the Light Rail to a variety of destinations in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, and Baltimore County, and can transfer to the Metro Subway in Baltimore, or to either of MARC's Baltimore terminals. A ride downtown takes approximately 30 minutes. Trains run every 20 minutes during peak hours, and 30 minutes all other times.[30]
