Eppley Airfield (OMA)

Eppley Airfield (OMA) is a medium sized, multi-use airport located on the northeast side of the city of Omaha, Nebraska. It is surrounded on all four sides by bodies of water. The Missouri River bounds the north, east, and south sides of the airport, with Carter Lake on the west. The location on the northeast edge of the city sometimes makes OMA difficult to find at night. Council Bluffs Airport (CBF) is located approximately five miles to the southeast and Offutt Air Force Base (OFF) is ten miles to the south. The OMA traffic mix is comprised of air carrier, air cargo, corporate and general aviation as well as some military flights. View a printable Pilot Handbook of the OMA information found on this Web page.
