History

Opened 1950 as Friendship International Airport; renamed Baltimore/Washington in 1973 and given the Thurgood Marshall designation in 2005 honoring the Maryland-born first Black Supreme Court justice. Southwest Airlines' largest east-coast operation; the airport positions itself as the budget alternative to DCA and IAD for the DC metro.

More about this airport

About this profile

Reference data (codes, coordinates, elevation, runways, owner, opening date) is curated from each airport's official authority page, the FAA's airport reference system for US airports, NAV CANADA and Transport Canada for Canadian airports, and AFAC and the operating concessionaire for Mexican airports. Latest passenger figures are CY 2023 totals where confidently sourced.

Live METAR and TAF are fetched from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center on each page load. NOTAMs (US airports) are fetched from the FAA NOTAM Search. If a source is unreachable when this page loads, the corresponding section displays an "unavailable" message rather than a blank or stale value.

This data is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the FAA's NASR 28-day cycle.
