Sandusky County Regional Airport is a county-owned public-use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) southeast of the central business district of Fremont, a city in Sandusky County, Ohio, United States.
The airport sits on land owned by the county. However, the airport was privately managed, and all its facilities privately owned, until Sandusky County bought the airport in 2012 in an effort to keep it from closing.[2]
Sandusky County Regional Airport covers 589 acres (238 ha) and has one runway designated 6/24 with a 5,500 by 100 ft (1,676 x 30 m) asphalt pavement. For the 12-month period ending September 16, 2021, the airport had 5,616 aircraft operations, an average of 15 per day: 81% general aviation, 20% air taxi and <1% military. At that time there were 16 aircraft based at this airport: 13 single-engine airplanes, 1 multi-engine airplane, and 2 helicopters.[3] [4]
The airport received a $1.6 million federal grant in 2023 to upgrade its parking apron in order to extend its useful life.[5]
The airport has a fixed-base operator that sells avgas and jet fuel as well as offering amenities such as general maintenance, catering, courtesy transportation, a conference room, a crew lounge, and showers.[6]
In May, 2022, the airport received $1.6 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to reconstruct Apron A. Additional funding was provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation.[7]
