History
The current Lea County Regional Airport was originally called the Me-Tex Airport and opened as a commercially operated airport on July 23, 1937. In 1937 the Me-Tex Supply Company leased the land where the airport is located from the State of New Mexico. Oiled runways were installed and a hangar constructed.
In 1940, the City of Hobbs passed a bond issue for funds to purchase the airport and some adjoining acreage, with the intent of bringing regular airline service and airmail delivery to the City. Federal grants helped pay for improvements such as paved runways and taxiways and a terminal building for the renamed Hobbs Municipal Airport.
The first air mail arrived in Hobbs via Continental Airlines in May 1940 which also initiated air passenger service that same year.
Ownership of the airport was transferred from the City of Hobbs to Lea County on November 19, 1945
Continental Airlines continued service to the airport until 1963, when they were replaced by Trans-Texas Airlines. Supplemental service was provided by Bison Airlines from 1963 to 1964.
