Airport History
Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) founded the Winslow Airport in 1929. Aviator Charles Lindbergh, who served as the head of TAT’s Technical Committee, chose Winslow as one of twelve critical re-fueling stops on the nation’s first transcontinental passenger line.
For many years the airport was the only all-weather airport between Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Los Angeles. The United States Army Air Forces Air Transport Command used the airport during World War II to refuel and repair planes.
