History

Planning on a new airport on 3,200 acres to serve the Baltimore-Washington area began just after the end of World War II, and ground was broken in 1947. Located near Friendship Church in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 10 miles south of Baltimore and 30 miles north of Washington, D.C., Friendship International Airport was dedicated on June 24, 1950, by President Harry Truman. Regular commercial service started the following month. Jet service started in 1957 when the first Boeing 707s were placed in service. Anne Arundel County is a county located in the U.S. state of Maryland. ...

For the victim of Mt. ...


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. The airport was renamed Baltimore/Washington International Airport in 1973. The new name was part of an effort to grab a portion of the Washington-area travel market.

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.


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; 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.


BWI Rail Station opened in 1980, providing a rail connection to passengers on the busy Northeast Corridor. BWI became first airport in the U.S. to be served by a dedicated intercity rail station. In particular, the station provided relatively easy transit access to Washington, D.C., something Dulles International Airport 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. British Airways and Icelandair have had a presence at BWI for many years. Other airlines, such as KLM, AerLingus, Ghana Airways, and El Al, started but later stopped flying to BWI.

For much of the 1990s, BWI was a major hub for US Airways, but that airline's financial difficulties in the wake of the dot-com bust and the September 11th attacks 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 the arrival of Southwest Airlines in September of 1993, and in the early 2000s Southwest significantly increased its operations there. Southwest is now BWI's largest carrier, accounting for about 47% of passengers in 2005.

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. 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. The more recent renaming has not resulted in a change to the IATA and ICAO locator codes. The airport is considered to be one of the safest airports in the country; however, in the fall of 2006, the airport was evacuated when a man accidentally brought a gun into the terminal, a scare that turned out not to be anything terrorist-related. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
