Lost and Found: Airport Paging Airport Parking Information Family Viewing Area An outdoor Family Viewing Area is located near the east runway at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Nearly one acre has been set aside to provide a vantage point for watching planes land and take off on the airport's 9,000 foot east runway. This viewing spot offers a paved parking area and picnic tables. The Family Viewing Area is at the end of Golf Course Road, which is on the south side of Hwy 71 East and just east of the airport's entrance. Recommended viewing times include mornings from 6-11 a.m., afternoons from 1:30-3 p.m., and evenings beginning around 7:30 p.m. Runways Named for Distinguished Politicians The airport's parallel runways are named for two distinguished politicians. On April 15, 1999, the Austin City Council dedicated the West Runway (17R/35L) to the late President Lyndon Baines Johnson, and the East Runway (17L/35R) to former Congressman J. J. “Jake” Pickle. Terminal Named for Distinguished Stateswoman The terminal is named for the late Barbara Jordan. Jordan represented the people of Texas as state senator then U. S. congresswoman for more than a decade. For more information see the Barbara Jordan Memorial page. Summary Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has been carefully planned to meet the needs of Central Texans well into the 21st century. A multi-use facility, the airport serves general aviation, commercial aviation, the State Aircraft Pooling Board, and the Texas Army National Guard. Restaurants and shops with a local flavor attract thousands of passengers. A central courtyard area in the Barbara Jordan Terminal offers a stage area that routinely plays host to performing Austin musicians.
