## Description

About 12,200 aircraft movements in the year to August 2022, 98 percent of them general aviation, describe Huron Regional Airport (IATA HON, ICAO KHON) precisely: a city-owned field in South Dakota with no scheduled airline service and no line-haul air cargo. Two concrete runways, 7,201 ft (2,195 m) and 5,000 ft (1,524 m), handle business jets, turboprops and agricultural aviation, but there is no cargo terminal, no ground handling agent and no customs clearance for imports on site. Charter and FBO services come from Fly Jet Center and Revv Aviation, with 21 aircraft based at the field; the city has repaved runways and aprons over the past decade and raised their load-bearing capacity. Opened in 1937 as W. W. Howes Municipal Airport, named for the postal official who brought airmail to the Midwest, HON today sees freight leave by road rather than by air. Shippers route air cargo through Sioux Falls (FSD), roughly 110 miles (177 km) southeast, and use Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), about 300 miles (480 km) east, for intercontinental lanes. Corn, soybeans, cattle and the Dakota Provisions turkey plant drive local volumes, so for forwarders and small businesses HON works as a road feeder point rather than a freight gateway.
