Baltimore/Washington International Airport serves the Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, DC metro-region. It is commonly referred to by its IATA Airport Code, BWI.

Located near Friendship Church in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 10 miles south of Baltimore, Maryland and 30 miles north of Washington, D.C., Friendship Airport was opened in 1950. The airport was renamed in 1973, and major remodeling began in 1974 and was completed in 1979. The airport is now a hub for Southwest Airlines and served about 20 million passengers in 2002. It is also the pilot airport for new security technologies in the wake of the War on Terrorism, and thus passengers may find exceptionally long waits here. The airport has been a backdrop in numerous films, including Broadcast News.

This airport was the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area major haven for low-cost flights until Independence Air began operations primarily servicing Dulles International Airport in 2004.

Baltimore/Washington International Airport has 5 Concourses (Concourse A is under construction).

The Maryland Transit Administration's light rail line has a station at the airport's International Terminal; passengers can board here for trains to Baltimore City. There are also shuttle buses between BWI and the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and between the airport and the Washington Metrorail subway station at Greenbelt, Maryland.
