General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport (IATA: PIA, ICAO: KPIA, FAA LID: PIA) is a joint civil-military public use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) west of the central business district of Peoria, a city in Peoria County, Illinois, United States. The airport is on the northwest edge of Bartonville, near Bellevue. It was formerly known as the Greater Peoria Regional Airport. It is often referred to simply as Peoria International Airport by the airport authority. History
On May 19, 1932 the citizens of Peoria voted to have an airport. On 195 acres (0.8 km²), American Airways (now American Airlines) and Chicago and Southern Airlines brought in airmail and passenger service on 4 shale-surfaced runways. The land was purchased by 261 Peoria businessmen who formed the Peoria Airport, Inc. It was turned over to the Peoria Park District in 1937, and then to newly-formed The Metropolitan Airport Authority of Peoria in 1950.
On April 25, 2007 the Greater Peoria Airport Authority announced that a new 9 gate terminal will be built and the older terminal would be demolished. On October 10, 2008, the airport was renamed "General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport" during a groundbreaking ceremony attended by Ross Perot, friend of the late Wayne A. Downing.
National Guard
The airport is home to the 182d Airlift Wing, Illinois Air National Guard. This Air National Guard unit is operationally-gained by the Air Mobility Command (AMC) and consists of Lockheed C-130H Hercules aircraft. The airport is also home to the Illinois Army National Guard's Army Aviation Support Facility #3 and 1st Battalion, 106th Aviation Regiment, currently operating the Boeing CH-47 "Chinook" helicopter.
Facilities and aircraft
Peoria International Airport covers an area of 3,800 acres (1,538 ha) at an elevation of 660 feet (201 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways: 13/31 is 10,104 by 150 feet (3,080 x 46 m) with a concrete surface; 4/22 is 8,003 by 150 feet (2,439 x 46 m) with an asphalt pavement.
For the 12-month period ending July 31, 2008, the airport had 53,305 aircraft operations, an average of 146 per day: 43% general aviation, 31% air taxi, 19% military and 8% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 87 aircraft based at this airport: 48% single-engine, 21% multi-engine, 18% military, 8% jet, and 5% helicopter.
