## Description

Avcraft, the fixed-base operator at Columbus Municipal Airport (IATA: OLU, ICAO: KOLU), sells 100LL and Jet A and supports the business and private flying that defines this Nebraska field. About a mile northeast of Columbus, the airport logged roughly 8,000 aircraft movements in the year to 2023, 96% of them general aviation, with no scheduled passenger or freight service. Its main runway 14/32 runs about 2,070 metres of concrete, enough for corporate jets but not for cargo operations. Goods from local industry such as Behlen Manufacturing leave by truck on US-30 and US-81, while air freight is consolidated at Omaha's Eppley Airfield (OMA), the state's cargo gateway with FedEx and UPS, some 145 km (89 miles) east. For forwarders, OLU is a general-aviation field, not a freight point.
