Facilities: The airport is
located on approximately 500 acres of land with a 4,100' single runway,
parallel taxiways, Federal contract air traffic control tower, and medium
intensity airfield lighting. Localizer/DME approaches are available from
the north and the south.
Services:
In addition to all standard aircraft services,
airport businesses offer air charter, aircraft sales,
and flight instruction services from smaller single-engine
aircraft up to corporate jets.
History:
Originally constructed as a Naval auxiliary field during World War
II, the
airport was deeded to the City of Olathe in 1951 and from the city
to Johnson
County in 1967. The Board of County Commissioners created the Johnson
County
Airport Commission to manage, operate, and improve the airports.
With over 100,000
annual operations and approximately 230 based aircraft, the airport
is the second
busiest in the state of Kansas.
Improvements:
Improvements to the airport include a new concrete runway and
localizer with MALSR lighting system. The west parallel taxiway
was reconstructed and a
holding bay added to the south end for improved traffic handling.
T-Hangars:
The County owns and operates a total of 218 T-hangars at both Johnson
County airports. Aircraft owners wanting to rent a T-hangar should
