Eppley Airfield (IATA: OMA, ICAO: KOMA, FAA LID: OMA), also known as Omaha Airport, is an airport in the midwestern United States, located three miles (5 km) northeast of downtown Omaha, Nebraska.

That year, the City of Omaha acquired 200 acres (0.8 km2) of cleared land on the east side of Carter Lake.

[7] This was matched by the federal government and improvements were made to handle jets at the airport, which was renamed Eppley Airfield in his honor in 1960.

[12] Created in 1959, the Omaha Airport Authority is governed by a five-member, appointed board and is responsible for sole jurisdiction and operation of Eppley Airfield.

[2] The airport has an on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility that handles international, charter, and private flights.

Eppley Airfield covers 2,650 acres (4.1 sq mi; 10.7 km2) at an elevation of 984 feet (300 m) above sea level.

Scheduled, commercial international service began on May 1, 2018, when Air Canada Express launched a daily flight to Toronto–Pearson.

Extensive upgrades are planned for Eppley Airfield in the near future to modernize the terminal, add gates and facilities, and improve the passenger experience.

To enable construction in this area, passenger pick-up and drop-off and lanes for buses, shuttles, and taxis have been temporarily shifted to a portion of the first floor of the South parking garage.

Councourses A and B will be joined by a long central corridor, expanding the new unified concourse from 375,000 to 646,000 square feet.
