History

The airport was built as a naval auxiliary field for use in World War II.[4] It was deeded to the city of Olathe in 1951, and to Johnson County in 1967.

The airport had commercial airline service provided by Air Midwest from 1973 through 1977 and again briefly in 1984. Air Midwest had nonstop flights to the Kansas City International Airport and the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport using Beechcraft 99 and Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner II aircraft. In 1984 the carrier also had nonstop service to the St. Louis Downtown Airport.[5]

On March 7, 2017, a severe storm damaged several hangars and airplanes at Johnson County Executive Airport. The damages were blamed on straight-line winds reaching 80 to 85 mph (129 to 137 km/h).[6]

Facilities

Johnson County Executive Airport covers 568 acres (230 ha) and has one runway and one helipad:[1]

  • Helipad H1: 100 x 75 ft. (30 x 23 m), surface: asphalt (closed indefinitely)

For the twelve-month period ending August 31, 2018, the airport had 36,931 aircraft operations, an average of 101 per day: 98% general aviation, 2% air taxi, and less than 1% military. In March 2020, there were 63 aircraft based at this airport: 56 single-engine, 6 multi-engine, and 1 helicopter.[1]
