Early in the preparation of the Texas Air Transportation Plan, it was recognized that an inventory of existing airport facilities was a necessary foundation from which to start. Information from existing FAA airport records was compiled, coded and computerized. The results of this process furnished 942 pages of pertinent facts about the airports in Texas plus the capability for rapid retrieval of facts, a capability which was not previously available. In addition to a general listing, several other computer programs were written which provide listings of specific information of particular interest. There are a total of 942 airports in Texas of which 239 are publicly owned and 703 are privately owned. Of the 703 privately owned airports, only 293 are open to the public. In the category of airports which are available for use by the general public, 284 have paved runways, 171 have runways which are 3200 ft. or greater in length, and 178 have runway lights of some description. In this same category, 29 Texas airports have a control tower, 18 have an instrument landing systems, and 39 have fire and crash equipment. As of January l, 1970, 33 cities in Texas, located in 30 counties, had airports serving scheduled air carriers while there were 10 counties in the state which had no airport at all. The report is intended to summarize some basic information and general characteristics of the airports in Texas since the tremendous volume of the inventory prohibits its publication and general distribution.
