About the
Elkhart Airport.

Our Mission

To be a safe and efficient aviation gateway to the greater Elkhart community while fostering economic growth.

We Provide

Access from our community to the world. Our airport is another of the many tools the city of Elkhart makes available to interested businesses who need to get from point A to point B quick, efficiently and above all safely. For every dollar used by the airport, $72 dollars are placed back into the community.

Jobs

Both directly and indirectly, because the airport exists more than 1,520 jobs have been created, according to the Aviation association of Indiana. Large corporations based at the airport also employ many local citizens.

Significant Economic Impact

Aviation Association of Indiana conducts a survey of all Indiana airports, and calculates a dollar value of each. The 2012 economic impact for Elkhart Airport was recorded at just over $197 million annually.
