The Brookley Complex (IATA: BFM,ICAO: KBFM,FAA LID: BFM), also known as the Mobile Downtown Airport[1] and as Brookley Field, is an industrial complex and airport located 3miles (5km) south of the central business district of Mobile, a city in Mobile County, Alabama, United States. The complex lies along the western shore of Mobile Bay. It is owned and operated by the Mobile Airport Authority.[2]
According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007-2011, it is categorized as a reliever airport.[3] The airport has a control tower and has both a 9,600-foot (2,926m) runway and a 7,800-foot (2,377m) runway. Various instrument approaches to all runways are available, including an instrument landing system. The complex is served by a 24-hour fixed base operator, the Downtown Air Center. In addition to the airport section, the complex is home to many aerospace industries and features direct connections with rail, road, and water transportation.[4]

Facilities and services
Brookley is the largest industrial and transportation complex in the region with over 100 companies and 4000 employees on 1,700acres (688ha).[5] The complex is home to many aerospace industries and features direct connections with Mobile Bay via its own docks, the CSX railroad, and with Interstate 10.[4] The Brookley Complex is included in Mobile's Foreign Trade Zone 82,[6] a zone that provides special customs procedures to U.S. plants engaged in international trade-related activities.[7]
Brookley includes the largest private employer in Mobile County, ST Mobile Aerospace Engineering, a subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Engineering.[5] Brookley also serves as base of operations for Teledyne Continental Motors and the new Airbus Engineering Center.[5]
For the 12-month period ending January 31, 2006, the airport had 84,484 aircraft operations, an average of 231 per day: 57% military, 34% general aviation, 6% air taxi and 2% scheduled commercial. There are 50 aircraft based at the airport: 80% single engine, 4% multi-engine, 10% jet aircraft and 6% helicopters.[1]
Cargo and maintenance hub
The Brookley Complex is a maintenance facility for FedEx Express, US Airways, and United Airlines. FedEx Express also uses the complex for three daily cargo flights from Memphis, Tennessee. UPS Airlines has one daily cargo flight from Louisville, Kentucky. The complex is also utilized by ABX Air (DHL).
Expansion
Airbus North America selected the airport for the location of an engineering facility which opened in 2007. On 29 February 2008, the United States Air Force announced that a partnership between Northrop Grumman and EADS (Airbus' parent company) had won the contract to produce the new KC-45 aerial refueling tanker. The contract is considered to be worth up to $40 billion with 179 planes to be delivered over the next ten to fifteen years. The production of these aircraft will be at Brookley.[8] That contract was later cancelled, leaving the status of future Mobile tanker production unclear. EADS also announced plans to move its A330-200F freighter assembly line from France to Mobile as well.
History
Brookley Air Force Base - 7 April 1952
World War II scene at Brookley Army Air Field.
Brookley Complex had its aeronautical beginnings with Mobile's first municipal airport, the old Bates Field. However, the site itself had been occupied from the time of Mobile's founding, starting with the home of Mobile's founding father, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, in the early 1700s.[9] In 1938 the Army Air Corps took over the then 1,000-acre (405ha) Bates Field site and established the Brookley Army Air Field.[10] The military was attracted to the site because of the area's generally good flying weather and the bay-front location, but Alabama Congressman Frank Boykin's influence in Washington was important in convincing the Army to locate the field in Mobile instead of Tampa, Florida.[11]
