Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Blue Ash Airport is assigned ISZ (formerly I77) by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[2]
The City of Blue Ash completed a purchase of the airport and property from the City of Cincinnati in 2007. The current Master Airport plan specifies the retention (and improvement) of the current runway, but the removal and demolition of all facilities to the West of the runway (the current taxiways, hangars, and ramps), and the construction of a parallel taxiway, and new terminals and facilities on the East side of the runway. The reclaimed area to the West of the runway will be converted into a park, some light retail spaces, a museum, and additional space for three relocated holes from the Blue Ash Golf Course.
Cincinnati-Blue Ash Airport covers an area of 257 acres (104 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (6/24) measuring 3,499 x 75 ft (1,066 x 23 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending January 30, 2006, the airport had 35,000 aircraft operations, an average of 95 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% air taxi and 1% military. There are 136 aircraft based at this airport: 88% single-engine, 11% multi-engine and 1% helicopter.[1]
Once a year, Cincinnati-Blue Ash Airport hosts an airshow known as Blue Ash Airport Days. This show is usually held in September and features aerobatic performers as well as numerous other types of static displays.
