AVIATION
Fabens Airport is a public airport owned and managed by El Paso County, located in Fabens, Texas, approximately 30 miles east of El Paso. The airport is a general aviation facility with one primary runway, Runway 8/26, which measures 4,200 feet in length. In recent years the TP&E division from El Paso County has identified the importance to improve the current conditions at the airport by completing both short- and long-term improvements to increase airport activity, as well as, to meet federal aviation standards. The County has implemented several improvement projects to the Fabens Airport, as outlined in recent studies, to include the FY2020 Airport Business Development Plan (ABDP), and the Fabens Airport Zoning Masterplan, along with ongoing major engineering design plans and the addition of aviation equipment.
