Cincinnati West Airport, formerly Harrison Airport, is a general aviation airport in Harrison, Ohio, United States. Cincinnati West is located 2nmi east of Harrison's central business district and about 15nmi northwest of Downtown Cincinnati. It can be accessed from Interstate 74. The airport is owned by Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Its fixed-base operator is Whitewater Aviation.
Cincinnati West Airport began in 1939 when Orville and Alvin Jackson plowed an airstrip through a hayfield owned by Woiden Radcliffe.[2] It officially opened in 1947 as Harrison Airport.[3] Runway lights were installed in 1954.
A 1969 proposal called for the privately owned Harrison Airport to be expanded for use as Cincinnati's executive airport, after plans to expand Blue Ash Airport into a reliever for Greater Cincinnati Airport were blocked by local opposition.[4] However, Harrison Airport's proximity to William Henry Harrison High School and Harrison Junior High School complicated any expansion plans.[5] Instead, the runway was reconfigured to avoid the schools.
The Windecker Eagle, the first composite airplane to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, was designed and built at the airport in the late 1970s.[6]
Morton Rabkin purchased Harrison Airport in 1981. An adjacent property was developed as a residential subdivision, ending his plans to extend the runway to . In 1986, he renamed the airport to Cincinnati West Airport and sold it to Bob McKenna.[7]
In 1995, the city of Harrison annexed Cincinnati West Airport.[8] That August, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College purchased the airport from McKenna Air Inc. to support its federally approved, two-year aviation maintenance technologies program.[9] [10] [11] It spent $4.14 million in state funds to purchase and renovate the facilities.[12] In 1998, the school opened a Cincinnati State West satellite campus next door.[13] [14]
Cincinnati West Airport covers an area of 27acres at an elevation of above mean sea level. It has one asphalt-paved runway: 01/19 is 2803by. The airport operates an Automated Weather Observation System.
For the 12-month period ending October 11, 2023, the airport had 28,470 aircraft operations, an average of 78 per day. This was 99% general aviation, less than 1% air taxi, and less than 1% military. For the same time period, 46 aircraft were based at the airport, all airplanes: 42 single-engine and 4 multi-engine. The airport is attended daily, year-round.[15]
