Jack Brooks Regional Airport (IATA: BPT, ICAO: KBPT, FAA LID: BPT), formerly Southeast Texas Regional Airport, is a public airport located near Port Arthur, Texas, United States, nine miles (14 km) southeast of the central business district of Beaumont and northeast of Port Arthur. It was also formerly known as the Jefferson County Airport, but its name was changed; first in an attempt to promote its use, and again to honor former U.S. Representative Jack Brooks (D – Beaumont). The airport is southwest of the city of Nederland in unincorporated Jefferson County, and currently used for general aviation exclusively. Jack Brooks Regional Airport has the distinction of being one of only two destinations where Southwest Airlines ended scheduled daily service (in 1980) and then never returned. A number of other airlines have also initiated and then ceased service as well including American Eagle, Continental, Delta/Delta Connection and United Express. The latest chapter with regard to passenger airline service at the airport involves the resumption of air service provided by American Eagle on behalf of American Airlines to Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW).
