Greenville Mid-Delta Airport
Greenville Mid-Delta Airport (IATA: GLH, ICAO: KGLH, FAA LID: GLH), operating as Mid Delta Regional Airport until 2011, is a public use airport in unincorporated Washington County, Mississippi, United States. It is located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) northeast of the central business district of Greenville, the city that owns the airport. It is served by one commercial airline, Denver Air Connection, which is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program. Formerly, the facility was known as Greenville Air Force Base.
As per the Federal Aviation Administration, this airport had 6,310 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 6,290 in 2009, 6,609 in 2010, 7,417 in 2011, and 5,181 in 2012. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport.
Mid-Delta Regional Airport is the only commercial airport located in the Mississippi Delta. Located approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north of central Greenville, MDRA is situated on 2,000 acres (810 ha) of land, with a sizable portion in the Mid-Delta Empowerment Zone. A controlled airfield, MDRA has a control tower which is staffed from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., seven days a week.
The facility has two runways, the primary being 18L/36R which is composed of an asphalt surface 150 feet (46 m) wide by 8,001 feet (2,439 m) long. Runway 18L/36R is a precision approach runway with an Instrument landing System (ILS), medium approach lighting system with rails, (MALSR) approach lights and High Intensity Runway Lights (HIRLs). A parallel runway, 18R/36L, has an asphalt and concrete surface with a width of 150 feet (46 m) and length of 7,019 feet (2,139 m). Runway 18R/36L is a non-precision runway with Medium Intensity Runway Lights, (MIRL). The runways are connected by six taxiways. Ramp space is abundant, with 2,660,000 square feet (247,000 m2) of concrete ramp area.
For the 12-month period ending July 31, 2019, the airport had 22,974 aircraft operations, an average of 63 per day: 66% general aviation 28% military, 6% air taxi, and <1% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 7 aircraft based at this airport: 5 single-engine and 2 multi-engine.
Historically, Greenville had scheduled passenger service provided by Southern Airways commencing during the early 1950s from the former Greenville Municipal Airport (Mississippi) operated with Douglas DC-3 prop aircraft flying daily round trip routings of Memphis - Greenville - Vicksburg - Jackson, MS - Natchez - Baton Rouge - New Orleans and Memphis - Greenville - Vicksburg - Jackson, MS - Laurel - Hattiesburg - Mobile. Southern subsequently moved its service to Mid Delta Regional and in 1968 was operating six departures a day from the airport all with Martin 4-0-4 prop aircraft with three nonstop flights a day to its Memphis hub as well as three direct, no change of plane flights a day to New Orleans via various stops en route. Southern subsequently began operating Douglas DC-9-10 jetliners from the airport on nonstop flights to Memphis with direct service to Baton Rouge and New Orleans via an intermediate stop in Monroe, Louisiana and also on a direct, one stop basis to Atlanta. Other DC-9 jet flights operated by Southern continued on direct, no change of plane routings to Chicago, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale. The July 1, 1978 Southern system timetable listed two nonstop DC-9 flights a day to its Memphis hub as well as one nonstop DC-9 flight a day to Monroe with this service continuing on to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Fort Walton Beach (served via Eglin Air Force Base), Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, and one nonstop DC-9 flight a day to Jackson with this service continuing on to Atlanta which also served as a hub for Southern.
Southern then merged with North Central Airlines to form Republic Airlines which in turn continued to serve Greenville. According to the July 1, 1979 Republic system timetable, the airline was operating nonstop DC-9 jet service to Memphis where it was operating a hub as well as nonstop service to Monroe and was also operating direct, no change of plane DC-9 service to Atlanta (which also served as a hub for Republic), Baton Rouge, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Walton Beach via Eglin Air Force Base, Greenville/Spartanburg, SC, Huntsville/Decatur, AL, Miami, New Orleans, New York City via LaGuardia Airport, Orlando and Washington D.C. via Dulles Airport. Republic subsequently ceased all flights from Greenville and had withdrawn from the market by 1986.
On June 8, 1988, a USAF Lockheed C-130 Hercules of the 189th Tactical Airlift Group, Arkansas Air National Guard, on a training flight from its home station of Little Rock AFB, crashed 1.5 miles from Greenville Airport during an attempted approach. All 6 occupants were killed.
