Perry County Airport (FAA LID: I86) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) south of the central business district of New Lexington, in Perry County, Ohio, United States.[1] It is owned by the Perry County Airport Authority.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
The airport has a unique arrangement in that a rail line passes underneath the runway. As originally planned, the location of the line at the end of the runway would have reduced its length due to minimum altitude requirements, so the airport was shifted west and the rail line placed in a tunnel.[3]
In 2021, the airport received a $22,000 grant to fund operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, debt service payments, and combating the spread of pathogens.[4]
Facilities and aircraft[edit]
Perry County Airport covers an area of 53 acres (21 ha) at an elevation of 1,051 feet (320 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 8/26 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,498 by 75 feet (1,066 x 23 m).[1]
The airport has a fixed-base operator that sells fuel.[5]
For the 12-month period ending August 4, 2022, the airport had 4,524 aircraft operations, an average of 87 per week. It was 99% general aviation and 1% militiary. At that time there were 10 aircraft based at the airport, all single-engine airplanes.[1]
