About Alpine Casparis Municipal Airport

Alpine–Casparis Municipal Airport (IATA: ALE, FAA LID: E38) is a city-owned public-use airport located 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of the central business district of Alpine, a city in Brewster County, Texas, United States. It supports two small runways and is not meant for large commercial planes. Alpine-Casparis is the only airport in Brewster County.

The airport provides Alpine with a modest sum of money. Being the only airport in the general area, and very close to the largest city in the county, makes it an adequate stop for small commercial or private aircraft. It is not uncommon for the airport's three hangars to be full during the summer, when air travel in the area is at its highest. Alpine–Casparis Municipal Airport earns the city about US$908,000 a year. The airport provides 17 jobs to the city, and has an average of 2,100 patrons annually.
