Established in 1917
Love Field Airport was originally opened as an army flying field and was named after First Lieutenant Moss Lee Love. It is located northwest of the central business district of Dallas. First used for commercial service in 1929, Love Field was later used for military purposes during World War II. It was expanded for additional air travel, renovated, and reopened in 1959. The airport became known around the world when U.S. President John F. Kennedy arrived at Love Field before he was assassinated in 1963.
Love Field serves almost 8 million passengers every year and is currently going through yet another round of construction and modernization. Designers have improved the building’s sustainability features and are trying to become LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Certifiable. The airport showcases many beautiful artworks making the walk through the airport interesting and inspiring.
