The Inverness Airport

The Inverness Airport is owned and maintained by the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners and operated by Tom Owens of Owens Air Service, Inc.  The Airport is located approximately 2 miles south of Inverness on US 41, on approximately 350 acres.

Inverness Airport is served by one runway, Runway 01/19 - 3,755 feet long by 60 feet wide, (although the County is in the process of relocating and extending the runway and taxiway to 5,000’). This runway is constructed of asphalt, is in good condition and has a full parallel taxiway. One fixed Based Operator (FBO) serves the airport.  The aircraft parking ramp encompasses approximately 2,500 square yards of pavement.

Inverness Airport serves the basic needs of general aviation.  Approximately 75 percent of the Airport’s annual operations are related to sport aviation/recreational flying. Flight training is a small component of the airport’s general aviation activity. Businesses on the airport at present are the FBO operator and AeroMed Corporation. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office and the Citrus County Mosquito Control conduct their flight operations from the Inverness Airport.  The airport also attracts a number of transient or visiting aircraft, with approximately 20 percent of its business originating from visiting aircraft.

The County’s vision for the Airport’s future is to provide a first-class airport for based flight schools, business, and recreational flying and business park development. Inverness Airport anticipates significant growth in the future.
