Won Pat International Airport''' {{airport codes|GUM|PGUM}}, also known as '''Guam International Airport''', is an airport located in [[Tamuning]] and [[Barrigada]], three miles east of the capital city of [[Hagåtña, Guam|Hagåtña]] (formerly Agana) in the [[Insular area|U.S. territory]] of [[Guam]]. It is named for [[Antonio Borja Won Pat]], the first [[Delegate (United States Congress)|delegate]] from Guam to the [[United States House of Representatives]], and is operated by the A.B. Won Pat Guam International Airport Authority (GIAA), an agency of the Government of Guam. The airport is a hub for [[Continental Micronesia]] and the cargo carrier [[Asia Pacific Airlines (Guam)|Asia Pacific Airlines]]. ==History== The airport's history began as '''Agana Naval Air Station (Brewer Field)''' after World War II. Operations of the civilian terminal ('''Guam International Air Terminal''') was passed onto the Government of Guam's Department of Commerce in 1969. In 1975, the Guam International Airport Authority (GIAA) was created as a separate agency. After Agana NAS was closed in April 1995, GIAA took over the entire airport's operations. The first passenger terminal building (now the unused Commuter Terminal) was opened in 1982. The current, much larger terminal building was opened in phases between 1996 and 1998. A ''[[Houston Chronicle]]'' article in [[2008]] stated that expected subsequent military buildup and population growth could lead to an expansion of Continental Micronesia flights to and from the airport.<ref>"[http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/continental/5809020.html Continental stands to gain in Guam]."
