Ogden-Hinckley Airport ( IATA: OGD [2], ICAO: KOGD, FAA LID: OGD) is a public airport four miles southwest of Ogden, in Weber County, Utah. [1] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2019–2023 categorized it as a commercial service–primary nonhub airport. [3] Formerly Ogden Municipal Airport, [2] [4] it is billed as Utah's busiest municipal airport for private planes. [5]
The airport has an FAA control tower with radar approach service by Salt Lake City TRACON.
During World War II the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Forces.
Western Airlines arrived in 1944 operating a route between Los Angeles and Great Falls, Montana. Ogden was one of many stops on the route falling between Salt Lake City and Pocatello, Idaho. United Airlines began serving Ogden in 1946 as one of many stops on a transcontinental route between San Francisco and New York. Both carriers pulled out in 1959. West Coast Airlines replaced them until it pulled out in 1961. In 1964, Thunderbird Airlines began air-taxi flights to Salt Lake City. The carrier changed names to Key Airlines in 1969 and again to Sun Valley Key in 1972. All service ended by 1976 and Ogden saw no other service for the next 36 years.
In September 2012 Allegiant Air began non-stop flights to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. [6]
On May 4, 2021 Avelo Airlines commenced service to Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR). [7]
In April 2022, Allegiant Air announced that they would be stopping flights to Ogden citing a shortage of pilots as a main reason. [8] In June 2022, Avelo announced that they would be stopping flights to Ogden as well. [8] Avelo stated that the high price of fuel was a major factor in their decision to leave Ogden. [8] The two airlines departing allowed the city to accelerate the previously scheduled renovation work, including constructing a new control tower and expanding the airport several thousand square feet. [9]
On February 21, 2024 Breeze Airways began service to Santa Ana John Wayne Airport.
