Approaching the City

The Mobile Regional Airport is located approximately 14 miles from downtown Mobile. Air travelers are served by Delta, Northwest Airlines, Continental Express, and U.S. Airways. The Downtown Airport at Brookley is a 1,700-acre transportation terminal favored by private and corporate planes for its proximity to downtown Mobile, which is only four minutes away by car. Motorists may reach Mobile via two interstate highways, I-10 and I-65, and by U.S. highways 31, 43, 45, 90, and 98. A $100 million interstate spur completed in 1995 connects I-65 and I-10 in downtown Mobile. In addition, several state roads head into the city. Amtrak provides passenger rail service between Mobile and New Orleans, Atlanta, and New York.
