History
The city of El Paso had originally constructed the El Paso Municipal Airport at
a location close to the East Side of the Franklin Mountains in 1928. The airport
was abandoned by 1965, and in more recent times has been home to the Jobe
Concrete Products "Planeport" cement factory.
The El Paso International Airport was originally constructed as Standard
Airport, constructed by Standard Airlines in 1929 for transcontinental air mail
service. Standard Airlines became a division of American Airlines in the 1930's.
In 1936, American Airlines "swapped" airports with the city of El Paso, and the
El Paso International Airport was born.
In 1934, Varney Speed Lines (now known as the popular airline Continental
Airlines)operated its service in and out of the old El Paso Municipal Airport
(now closed). In 1937, the airline moved to Denver, Colorado when Robert Six
took over the airline.
During World War II, the airport was used by the United States Army Air
Forces as a training base. Units which trained at El Paso Army Airfield were:
* 385th Bombardment Group (Heavy) (B-17 Flying Fortress) 21 Dec 1942 - 1 Feb
1943
o Served with the 8th Air Force in England.
* 491st Bombardment Group (Heavy) (B-24 Liberator) 11 Nov 1943 - 1 Jan 1944
o Served with the 8th Air Force in England.
* 497th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy) (B-29 Superfortress) 20 Nov - 1 Dec 1943
o Served with the 20th Air Force at Saipan.
At the end of the war the airfield was determined to be excess by the military
and returned to the local government for civil aviation use.
Historically, Continental Airlines had a significant presence at the airport. It
provided "Golden Jet" service to such cities as Phoenix, Los Angeles, Las Vegas,
Albuquerque, Midland-Odessa, Dallas Love Field, Austin, San Antonio and Houston.
Before deregulation in the USA, El Paso was a focus city for Continental
Airlines, however El Paso was soon demoted to a standard station in a
hub-and-spoke system under Frank Lorenzo's leadership of the airline.
