Palm Beach
International
PBI is one of the three major commercial airports serving the southeast
coast of Florida. PBI opened as Morrison Field in 1936. It became Palm Beach
International Airport in 1947 as Mackey Airways initiated service to the
Bahamas. In 1966, a new terminal was built which would soldier on until
October, 1988 when the current modern David McCampbell Terminal opened.
This is a very spacious, lovely facility with 3 concourses and one of the
earlier behind security shopping concourse. All major carriers serve PBI
but Delta and now Southwest dominate. International services are provided
by WestJet, CanJet, Air Canada, and Bahamasair. The only wide-body services
are when Delta schedules a 767-300. This airport holds significance to the
webmaster as I spent much time here during my childhood shuttling between
Tulsa, Oklahoma and my grandparents' home in South Palm Beach. I am looking
for original images of the 1966 and 1974 terminals. |
