Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is Alabama's busiest airport, serving the state's largest metro area. Delta, Southwest, American, United, and Breeze Airways all operate here, with Atlanta being the most popular connecting hub due to its proximity.

The airport's proximity to downtown and the University of Alabama at Birmingham campus means short drive times for most destinations in the metro area.
