Airports in Lane County, Oregon

Lane County, Oregon is served by a network of airports anchored by Eugene Airport (EUG) — officially known as Mahlon Sweet Field — which stands as the fifth-largest commercial airport in the Pacific Northwest. Owned and operated by the City of Eugene, EUG serves the entire mid-Willamette Valley region and handled 1,711,855 passengers in 2025, a 1.76% increase over the prior year, reflecting steadily growing demand from Lane County's 382,000+ residents.

Eugene Airport sits just northwest of downtown Eugene, the county seat and second-most populous city in Oregon. The airport connects Lane County travelers to 17 non-stop destinations served by six major carriers: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Allegiant Air. In March 2026, Breeze Airways launched new non-stop service from EUG to Burbank, California, with onward connections to Provo, Utah — expanding the airport's reach to Southern California travelers for the first time.

Current non-stop routes from EUG include Seattle (SEA), Denver (DEN), Portland (PDX), Las Vegas (LAS), Los Angeles (LAX), Oakland (OAK), Phoenix-Mesa (AZA), Salt Lake City (SLC), San Francisco (SFO), Chicago (ORD/MDW), San Diego (SAN), Sacramento (SMF), Santa Ana (SNA), San Jose (SJC), and Burbank (BUR). This breadth of service means most Lane County residents can reach major U.S. hubs without a connection, avoiding the 2-hour drive north to Portland International Airport that has historically drawn regional travelers away.

Eugene Airport is currently undergoing significant expansion to meet rising demand. A $5 million federal grant will fund a Concourse A expansion that increases seating from 291 to 781 seats and adds 5,400 square feet of terminal space, with construction potentially beginning in 2026. Longer-term plans include a new Concourse C, expanded ticketing counters, and a larger baggage claim area — a combined investment approaching $241 million that could nearly double the facility's size within 7–8 years.

Beyond EUG, Lane County is served by two general aviation airports that support private pilots, charter flights, and flight training operations. Florence Municipal Airport (FMU), located on the Oregon Coast in the city of Florence, features a 3,000-foot lighted asphalt runway (Runway 15/33) and accommodates 13 based aircraft. Florence Municipal recently received a $450,000 federal grant for new weather reporting equipment, improving safety for pilots navigating coastal marine conditions. The airport offers self-service 100LL aviation fuel and a public pilot lounge open daily.

Hobby Field Airport (77S) in Creswell serves general aviation traffic just 9 miles south of Eugene. The non-towered public airport offers tie-downs for local and transient aircraft, self-serve 100LL fuel, and recently received a $160,000 federal grant for runway visual guidance system installation. Its proximity to Eugene's southern corridor makes it a practical option for general aviation pilots visiting the region without needing the busier commercial terminal at EUG.

Lane County's unique geography — spanning from the Pacific Coast at Florence east through the Willamette Valley to the Cascade Range — means aviation infrastructure is distributed across dramatically different terrain types. Lane County is one of only two Oregon counties (alongside Douglas County) whose boundaries stretch from ocean to mountains, and aviation connectivity across this geography supports the county's diverse economy: University of Oregon academics and athletics, outdoor recreation tourism, timber and agriculture, and high-tech manufacturing in the Eugene-Springfield metro.

Whether you are departing from Eugene Airport on a non-stop flight to San Francisco, flying a Cessna into Florence Municipal on a coastal sightseeing tour, or landing at Hobby Field for a visit to the southern Willamette Valley wineries, Lane County's airports provide access points for every category of traveler.
