Facilities and Aircraft

The airport has one runway (18/36) that is currently 2,898 feet long. On each end there are turn-pads as there is no parallel taxiway to the runway. As of 2017, the airport was working to extend the runway to 4250 feet. The Federal Aviation Administration will fund 90%, Indiana Department of Transportation 4% and 6% by the City of Delphi. The work was scheduled to be completed in early 2018, but, as of October, 2017, the work has been postponed due to inclement weather, and is scheduled to resume in the spring of 2018 on a date to be determined.[1]

Equipped with a self-service fuel pump, the airport caters to general aviation traffic. The airport has 11 buildings including a small terminal building that contains a lobby, conference area, an office, and a living room. There are 36 hangars total. Plans for a new terminal building, more hangars, a parallel runway, and a crosswind runway are in the works.
