Beaumont Municipal Airport (BMT/KBMT) is a city-owned general aviation airport about three miles northwest of downtown Beaumont, Texas. It opened in the early 1930s and served as Beaumont's original municipal airfield before commercial airline service shifted to what is now Jack Brooks Regional Airport. Today it handles private, corporate, and flight-training traffic with a single asphalt runway and a compact, historic terminal area.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to call ahead for after-hours gate and fuel access; the airport is quiet at night, and local flight-training traffic can make the pattern busy on clear weekend mornings.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from downtown Beaumont via College Street or I-10, but it has no based rental car desks, so arrange a taxi, rideshare, or hotel shuttle in advance. Parking is typically close to the terminal, and after-hours arrivals should confirm gate codes and fuel access with the airport office or FBO. For commercial flights, allow 20–30 minutes to reach Jack Brooks Regional Airport (BPT) southeast of Beaumont.
