Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (IATA: XNA, ICAO: KXNA, FAA LID: XNA) is a public use airport in Northwest Arkansas, United States. It is 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) northwest of the city of Fayetteville and 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) northwest of the city of Springdale. The airport, located in Highfill, Arkansas, is also near the cities of Bentonville, Rogers, and Springdale. It is commonly referred to by its IATA code, which is incorporated in the airport's logo as "Fly XNA".
It is perhaps one of the smallest airports in the U.S. to see year-round, daily nonstop jet service to major cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and San Francisco, largely due to the presence of the world's largest company, Walmart, in nearby Bentonville. Envoy Air (the regional carrier for American Airlines) is the major carrier, formerly serving 6 cities, and currently 5 from XNA: Dallas/Fort Worth, Charlotte, Chicago O'Hare, New York's LaGuardia, and Los Angeles.
