About Rolla Downtown Airport
Rolla Downtown Airport is a privately owned, public-use general aviation airport serving Rolla, Missouri, and surrounding Phelps County. The airport opened in October 1963 and is located about three miles southwest of downtown Rolla.
Unlike a commercial airline hub, Rolla Downtown handles private, charter and general aviation flights from a single asphalt runway, Runway 9/27, which measures 3,028 by 38 feet. It has no control tower or scheduled passenger terminal, so most travel here is arranged directly through flight operators and fixed-base operators.
The airport sits close to Rolla's city centre and the Missouri University of Science and Technology, making it convenient for business, campus and private travel. Ground connections are primarily by private car, pre-arranged taxi or transfer, with limited public transport directly at the airfield.
For scheduled regional airline service, travellers typically use Rolla National Airport, about 12 miles north of the city. Rolla Downtown remains a useful local gateway for private aviation into the Rolla area.
