Olive Branch Airport (IATA: OLV, ICAO: KOLV, FAA LID: OLV) is a civil, privately-owned airport open to the public. It located three nautical miles (6 km) northeast of the central business district of Olive Branch, a city in DeSoto County, Mississippi, United States.
It is also only about a 30 minute drive from Memphis, Tennessee, making it an easily-accessible satellite airport for the general aviation and business air travel communities wanting to access the East Memphis/Germantown/Collierville area. It is owned and operated by Metro Industrial Park Ltd. History
In the early 1970's, Holiday Inn announced they would construct what would be called Holiday Inn University and Conference Center in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Simultaneous with construction of the University, Holiday Inn began work on a 3,000-acre industrial park and the Olive Branch Airport that opened in January, 1973. Today the development is known as Metro Industrial Park. It is an 800 acre fully planned, improved, and restricted industrial facility. It includes the Olive Branch Airport -- one of Mississippi's busiest -- offering a 6,000 foot paved, lighted runway, and full service fixed base operations (via Metro Aviation Service). Today the industrial complex and Olive Branch Airport are owned by Belz Enterprises.

Olive Branch Airport covers an area of 412 acres (167 ha) at an elevation of 402 feet (123 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 18/36 with an asphalt surface measuring 6,000 by 100 feet (1,829 x 30 m).
