Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport[a] (IATA: BWI, ICAO: KBWI, FAA LID: BWI) is an international airport in Anne Arundel County, Maryland,[2] located 9 miles (14 km) south of downtown Baltimore and 30 miles (50 km) northeast of Washington, D.C.[6][7]

BWI is one of three major airports, including Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), that serve the Washington–Baltimore metropolitan area.[8]

The airport, which serves as one of several operating bases for Southwest Airlines, is the 22nd-busiest airport in the United States and the busiest in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area as of 2021.[9] BWI covers 3,160 acres (12.8 km2) of land and contains three runways.[10][11]

The airport is named after Thurgood Marshall, a Baltimore native who was the first African American to serve as a U.S. Supreme Court justice.
