Eppley Airfield, Commercial airport in northeast Omaha, United States.
Eppley Airfield is a commercial airport in northeast Omaha, Nebraska, covering more than 1,000 hectares at an elevation of roughly 300 meters (984 feet). The facility includes two terminal buildings and three runways used by several national airlines.
The airport opened in 1925 after the city of Omaha acquired roughly 80 hectares as an extension of an existing park. Over the decades, the facility grew substantially and became a key hub for air traffic in the central United States.
The airfield serves as Nebraska's main connection to other parts of the continent, with travelers passing through its halls and booking flights to different destinations. The facility bears the name of a local businessman and reflects the region's shift from agricultural heartland to connected economic center.
Access is provided through a central rental car facility with direct links to several interstate highways running in different directions. Travelers can navigate the terminals easily, with signage guiding them to gates and service areas.
A major expansion project exceeding 900 million dollars launched in early 2024 will update the terminal facilities and improve passenger services by spring 2025. This modernization ranks among the largest infrastructure projects in Nebraska's history and reshapes the entire complex.
