Idaho County Airport is a county-owned, public-use airport in the western United States. Located in north central Idaho, it is one nautical mile (1.15 mi, 1.85 km) north of the central business district of Grangeville, the seat of Idaho County.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned GIC by the FAA and IDH by the IATA[1] (which assigned GIC to Boigu Island Airport in Queensland, Australia).[3]
Idaho County Airport covers an area of 161acres at an elevation of 3,314 feet (1,010 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 8/26 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,101 by 75 feet (1,555 x 23 m).
For the 12-month period ending on March 19, 2010, the airport had 13,000 aircraft operations, an average of 35 per day: 81% general aviation and 19% air taxi. At that time, there were 14 aircraft based at this airport: 13 single-engine and 1 ultralight.
Home to the Grangeville Smokejumpers of the U.S. Forest Service,[4] the airport is one of seven USFS smokejumper bases in the western United States.
