Lawrence Regional Airport (IATA: LWC, ICAO: KLWC, FAA LID: LWC) is an airport three miles north of Lawrence, in Douglas County, Kansas, used for general aviation and air taxi.
Facilities
The airport covers 486 acres (197 ha) at an elevation of 833 feet (254 m). Runway 15/33 is 5,700 by 100 feet (1,737 x 30 m) asphalt and 1/19 is 3,901 by 75 feet (1,189 x 23 m) concrete.[1]
In the year ending August 30, 2018 the airport had 23,000 aircraft operations with an average 63 per day: 93% general aviation, 6% air taxi and <1% military. 40 aircraft were based at the airport: 72.5% single-engine (29), 12.5% multi-engine (5), 7.5% jet (3) and 7.5% helicopter (3).[1]
In July 2019, the City of Lawrence granted permits to a $2.1 million construction project. The project, expected to be completed by the end of 2019, includes a 23,000 square foot hangar and an office space. It is designed in order to encourage more private charters out of the airport.[2]
In February 2023, the airport was selected to receive Kansas Airport Improvement Program (KAIP) funding of more than $1.3 million for airport master plan updates, apron rehabilitation – including design and construction – and a feasibility study for a runway expansion and extension to support 717 and 737 aircraft.[3]
