Fairfield County Airport (ICAO: KLHQ, FAA LID: LHQ) is a public use airport in Fairfield County, Ohio, United States. It is located three nautical miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Lancaster, the county seat. The airport is owned by the Fairfield County Commissioners.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned LHQ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.
Facilities and aircraft
Fairfield County Airport covers an area of 130 acres (53 ha) at an elevation of 868 feet (265 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 10/28 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,004 by 75 feet (1,525 x 23 m).
For the 12-month period ending May 19, 2009, the airport had 43,066 aircraft operations, an average of 117 per day: 99.8% general aviation and 0.2% military. At that time there were 98 aircraft based at this airport: 85% single-engine, 7% multi-engine, 7% helicopter and 1% ultralight.
Currently there is one Standard Terminal Arrival (GUNNE ONE), an RNAV GPS approach in to runway 10 and 28, a localizer for 28 and a VOR or GPS-A circling approach.
Fairfield Air Ventures is the Fixed Base Operator which provides fuel, maintenance, flight instruction, charter flights, hangars and tie-downs, Lasergrade testing, WSI aviation weather and car rental.
In Spring of 2010, a plan was proposed to relocate Election House road, in an effort to allow larger aircraft to make use of the runway and allow the airport to add a global positioning system-aided landing system. The project is estimated to cost $1.3 million, with the FAA covering 95% of the costs, and other matching funds coming from Fairfield County.
