Johnson County Executive Airport is a public airport located about four miles southeast of downtown Olathe, Kansas. It is owned by Johnson County and operated by the Johnson County Airport Commission, serving Olathe and the surrounding area. The airport sits at 1,096 feet above sea level.
The facility covers 568 acres and has one concrete runway (18/36) that is 4,098 feet long, plus one helipad (H1) measuring 100 by 30 feet.
In 2018, the airport recorded 36,931 aircraft operations (about 101 per day), mostly general aviation. In 2020, 63 aircraft were based there: 56 single-engine, 6 multi-engine, and 1 helicopter.
Two fixed-base operators operate at the airport: Kansas City Aviation Center, which provides maintenance, fuel, flight training, and serves as a Pilatus and Piper dealer; and Air Associates of Kansas, offering flight training, maintenance, charter, fuel, hangars, and pilot supplies.
History notes include its origins as a World War II naval auxiliary field. The airport was deeded to the City of Olathe in 1951 and to Johnson County in 1967. Commercial service was provided by Air Midwest from 1973–1977 and briefly in 1984, with nonstop flights to Kansas City International and Wichita Mid-Continent airports, and a 1984 nonstop to St. Louis Downtown Airport.
On March 7, 2017, a severe windstorm damaged several hangars and airplanes at the airport.
