Easterwood Airport (IATA: CLL, ICAO: KCLL, FAA LID: CLL), also known as Easterwood Field, is the regional airport for Texas A&M University, Bryan-College Station and Brazos County, Texas, USA. The airport is owned by Texas A&M University. Easily accessible from Farm-To-Market Road 60 West (Raymond Stotzer Parkway), it is located three miles (5 km) southwest of College Station and 0.25 miles (0.40 km) from Texas A&M University. There is no public transportation system access to Easterwood Airport. Despite owning and managing the airport, Texas A&M University offers no aviation courses.
The William A. McKenzie Terminal at Easterwood Airport provides daily flights within Texas to Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston. The terminal offers complimentary 2 hour visitor parking as well as drop off areas on the upper level and shuttle/taxi pick up areas on the lower level.
The airline ticket counters, TSA security checkpoint, and boarding areas are located on the upper level of the terminal. Baggage claim and rental car agencies are located on the lower level.
In 1938, the Board of Directors of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (as Texas A&M was known at the time) authorized the development of an airport at the existing site. The University applied to the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) for certification as a primary flight training school under provisions of the Civilian Pilot Training Program.
