Hunt. The airport bustles with early-morning flights catering to business guests, shaping a fast-paced rhythm that even frequent flyers acknowledge for its unique Arkansas flair. Unlike the anonymous monotony of chain restaurants you'd find at other regional airports, XNA serves local delights like Slim Chickens and Core Brewing Company, offering a distinct taste of Arkansas right from the terminal. At a glance Serving approximately 1.6 million passengers every year, XNA handles its traffic with a single runway and one Main Terminal comprising twelve gates. While it’s not a hub for any airline, it’s frequented by big names like American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Allegiant Air. Situated about 17 miles northwest of Fayetteville, and 12 miles northwest of Springdale, its strategic location plays into the corporate travel tendency, predominantly attracting travelers from companies headquartered nearby.

Gourmet Market, known for shorter lines and a quieter atmosphere. - _Insider_: The indoor pet relief area near Gate A2 is highly appreciated by pet owners, especially during weather-related delays. - _Time_: EV users should target Parking Deck levels 2 or 3 for charging before or after their flights. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
