Facilities

In 2006 the City of Windom completed a construction project in excess of $1.3 million. New hangars and a new Arrival/Departure Building were finished along with improvements to the electronics including the NDB (Non-Directional Beacon) and AWOS (Automated Weather Observations Services). Other renovations included pavement replacement and additional paved surfaces. In 2010, the City completed a new concrete runway and taxiways project at a cost of $1.2 million. In 2013, the City constructed a large aircraft hangar at a cost of $508,000.

Hanger Spaces

The hangar buildings are located two miles north on trunk highway #71 and 1/2 mile east. Four hangar buildings provide 17 hangar spaces for rent by plane owners. The original building has 8 hangar units while the two constructed in 2006 have 4 hangar units each. Rental Cost is $85/month in the original building and $100/month in the new buildings. The doors are 50 ft wide so any airplane must have less than a 50 ft wing span. The large hangar is 95′ x 60′ and has one unit with space for two to three aircraft. The door is 60 ft wide and has a 16 ft clearance.

To rent a hangar space, you must fill out an application. The airport manager will assign a hangar space once the application has been approved, the fee has been paid and a rental contract has been signed. There are no available hangars at this time.
