Memphis International Airport Departures (MEM)

Flight Departures at Memphis International Airport

Memphis International Airport is located a few kilometers from downtown Memphis, serving mainly domestic travel and several international destinations including Mexico and Hawaii. 

Memphis International Airport maintains four runways on more than a 3,900-acre facility.

The departure times of flights is usually displayed on the screens in the airport. The charts are quite easy to read because the information is in tables with headings for each column.

The departures area is designed to be a relaxing space for passengers. It’s divided into three sections: the pre-security terminal, the concourse, and the post-security terminal. From the entrance, the pre-security terminal allows access to lounges and restaurants situated near each other.

Memphis International Airport is undergoing a $114 million renovation that includes an updated northeast gateway, which features new shops and restaurants.

The goal of this project was to create a space that would encourage people to explore the other areas of the airport. The design team wanted to create an environment that was both visually appealing and functional for travelers. The airport’s existing architecture had many features, but it needed some updating.

For the last 14 years, MEM has been sponsoring the Annual High School Visual Arts and Photography Competition/Exhibition. Recent winning artworks such as “A Levitt Picnic,” “Through Her Eyes,” and “Colors of Memphis” are hanging at the airport. The artwork is available for sale.
