Easterwood Field — College Station, United States

Texas A&M University owns and operates CLL, a rare arrangement that ties a public airport's fate directly to the fortunes of a major research university rather than a city or county government. The field takes its name from Alfred Easterwood, a Texas A&M cadet who died during flight training in the 1920s, decades before the university formally established an airport on the site. Beyond scheduled commercial flights connecting College Station and Bryan to hub airports in Dallas and Houston, the field supports the university's flight training programs, agricultural research flights, and considerable general aviation traffic tied to Texas A&M athletics, when charter aircraft ferry teams and fans on game weekends. Two runways handle a mix of regional jets, turboprops, and smaller aircraft, making it a genuinely multi-purpose facility rather than a simple passenger terminal.
