Huron Regional Airport (IATA: HON, ICAO: KHON, FAA LID: HON) is a city owned public airport in Huron, within Beadle County, South Dakota.[1] It hosts one airline, subsidized by the Essential Air Service program. It serves as a backup site for Sioux Falls Regional Airport

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 2,365 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[2] 2,170 in 2009 and 2,016 in 2010.[3] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2015–2019 categorized it as a general aviation airport (the commercial service category requires at least 2,500 enplanements per year).[4]

History

The airport was originally the W. W. Howes Municipal Airport, named in honor of William Washington Howes, First Assistant Postmaster General under Franklin Roosevelt. Howes brought airmail service to the Midwest. The airport hangar pictured, below, was named the W. W. Howes hangar in 1998 due to the efforts of Howes' grandson, Dr. Whiting Wicker.
