In 2005, the airlines serving Little Rock handled approximately 2.6 million passengers, up from 2.2 million the year before. The growth in passenger numbers has strengthened Little Rock National’s position with the airlines in seeking new and more direct service. In addition to commercial aircraft, the airport serves a large number of general aviation/private aircraft. Also on airport property are two of the region’s major aviation employers, Dassault Falcon Jet and Raytheon Aircraft.

A number of improvement projects are underway at the airport, including lengthening of the commercial service runway on the east side of the terminal by 1,050 feet and a major upgrade to the concourse. A study is currently underway to determine the best way to expand and improve the current terminal building, which was opened in 1972.

Customer service has always been important at Little Rock National, and new features are being regularly added to make the airport experience more enjoyable. The live music program, co-sponsored by airport concessionaire HMS Host, continues to be very popular with customers, as is the Customer Care Center on the second level of the terminal.

Two important goals at the airport are to continually upgrade customer service and physical facilities to ensure that both visitors and residents have the most positive airport experience possible.
