Sandusky County Regional Airport is a county-owned public-use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) southeast of the central business district of Fremont, a city in Sandusky County, Ohio, United States.
Efforts to build a new airport began as early as January 1987, when the county considered funding a study to evaluate potential locations. By early March 1988, the number of sites under consideration had been narrowed down to five. However, construction of a new airport faced significant opposition from local residents.
By late July 1993, the county had begun a process to acquire land from at least 14 different property owners to build the airport.
After pushing back the date once, the airport opened on 10 July 1999. However, only the runway had been finished at that time. By mid December, airport administration had moved into a new terminal building was complete and a maintenance hangar was almost complete. The official grand opening finally occurred on 10 June 2000.
Work to extend the parallel taxiway by had begun by mid May 2010.
The airport sits on land owned by the county. However, the airport was privately managed, and all its facilities privately owned, until Sandusky County bought the airport in 2012 in an effort to keep it from closing.
In May 2022, the airport received $1.6 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to reconstruct Apron A. Additional funding was provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Sandusky County Regional Airport covers 589 acres (238 ha) and has one runway designated 6/24 with a 5,500 by 100 ft (1,676 x 30 m) asphalt pavement. For the 12-month period ending September 16, 2021, the airport had 5,616 aircraft operations, an average of 15 per day: 81% general aviation, 20% air taxi and <1% military. At that time there were 16 aircraft based at this airport: 13 single-engine airplanes, 1 multi-engine airplane, and 2 helicopters.
The airport received a $1.6 million federal grant in 2023 to upgrade its parking apron in order to extend its useful life.
