Ken Holmes is Executive Director of Airport Operations and Chief Pilot. Lis France, who graduated from our Aviation Program in June, was recently hired as a full-time pilot. In addition, there are three office staff members, three mechanics, and six linemen who service the aircraft and maintain the facility. Airport Operations provides transportation services for Ohio University employees conducting University business, and provides support services for the Department of Aviation and the Avionics Engineering Center. The Airport also offers hangar spaces and maintenance for private aircraft.
Aircraft are available for rent by qualified pilots.
The expansion plans include additional hangar space and a new terminal facility. Currently the Airport is undergoing an environmental assessment and economic user study in preparation for a proposal to expand the runway from 4,200 to 5,600 feet. This expansion will allow commuter service, small jets and cargo planes access to our region. Questions related to the services, or future plans for the Airport, can be directed to Linda Stroh at 597-2605.
