Omaha Eppley Airfield OMA Airport Overview

Omaha Eppley Airfield OMA is gateway to the Midwest. Passenger traffic at the Airport has more than doubled in the last decade and the airport has undertaken several airport and roadway improvement projects to better accommodate this rapid growth.

The Airport is located on Abbott Drive (signed as Iowa Highwy 165), four miles northeast of the City of Omaha, and is the largest Airport in the State of Nebraska.

It is accessible by Interstate Hwys. 29 (from Sioux City), 80 (from Lincoln or Des Moines) & 480 from the South towards downtown Omaha). NOTE, however, that due to the Missouri River flooding, I-680 and 29 incurred large damage and will be out of service through much of 2012. Consult the DOT website for alternatives.
