Says Commercial Traffic Has Dipped, Private Aircraft Taking
Over
The Palm Beach International Airport in Florida has had to fight
for its existence as a civilian airport more than once. After
opening in 1936 as a single runway with only a small administration
building, the airport was twice made a military base, during World
War II and the Korean conflict. Finally, in 1960, the 2000-acre
site was officially taken over by Palm Beach County.
