LORAIN COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT
UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE LORAIN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MANAGED BY JOHNSTON AVIATION
The Lorain County Regional Airport is a department of the Board of County Commissioners and receives its local operating funding from the County General Fund. Comments and concerns can be expressed to the County Administration by calling (440)-329-5111 or mail us at County Administration Building, 226 Middle Avenue, Elyria, OH 44035.
The airport is situated on approximately 1,120 acres near the Center of Lorain County in New Russia Township. An Industrial Park encompassing approximately 150 acres adjacent to the airport has all utility services available on site, including electric sanitary sewer, natural gas and safe potable water. The availability and capacity for these utilities is readily available to meet any needs of your development. Runway 07/25 is 5,000 ft in length and is 100 ft wide, with a full Instrument Landing System (Airport Facility Data). Providing AvFuel, maintenance and other pilot and aircraft amenities, Johnston Aviation Company, is the airport’s full-service Fixed Base Operator (FBO) and is currently managing the airport of behalf of the Authority.
Local, State and FAA funding have provided for an FAA approved Airport Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan, improvements to the airport's runway safety areas, new and improved navigational aids, and infrastructure improvements to the airport's Industrial Park. Improvements since 2004 have also included runway rehabilitation and overlay, the addition of a 10 ft perimeter fence, overlay and extension of the airport tarmac, addition of a deicing facility, improvements to the airport lighting system, and the purchase of new snow removal equipment.
Johnston Aviation Company has also earmarked improvements to the FBO facilities. In 2006 the Board of Commissioners also authorized the construction and sale of private condominium hangars to promote expansion of the tenant base at the airport. These combined improvements will greatly enhance the Lorain County Regional Airport for its users, tenants, and the citizens and businesses in Lorain County for many years to come.
