The Arkansas airport system has 90 airports, which includes eight airports with scheduled commercial airline service and 82 general aviation airports. In 2016, Arkansas’ public commercial and general aviation airports accommodated just under 3,000 based aircraft in Arkansas and almost 1.7 million total annual aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings). The state’s commercial service airports connect Arkansas residents and visitors to destinations throughout the nation and the world. In 2016, commercial airports in Arkansas served 1.8 million passenger enplanements. All 90 Arkansas system airports have public owners or sponsors, and all are open to the public. However, only those airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) are eligible for FAA funding. Presently, 76 of the state’s 90 system airports are included in the NPIAS.
