Goshen Municipal Airport

The Gateway of Goshen

Welcome from the Airport Manager

Welcome to the Goshen Municipal Airport, the seventh busiest airport in the State of Indiana. From the moment you arrive, you will quickly discover our airport has set the standard as a “hometown” airport with all of the amenities of a large airport.

As you walk into our modern passenger lobby, you will be greeted by one of our customer service representatives, ready to assist you with everything from rental cars to hotel accommodations. And crew members will appreciate the prompt service from the certified line technician staff to help with deicing, heated hangar space, or just a “quick turn’ on fuel to keep you moving.

Through a cooperative effort with our “Aviation Partners”, we have put together a team of associates that takes great pride in providing you with first-class service.

On behalf of everyone at the Goshen Municipal Airport, welcome, and we look forward to serving you on your next visit to the “Gateway of Goshen”.
