The Inverness Airport
The Inverness Airport is owned and maintained by the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners and
operated by the Fixed Base Operator (FBO), 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 airport has an AWOS, and Jet A-1 and 100LL fuel which is self-serve. The
aircraft parking ramp encompasses approximately 14,000 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. 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, recreational flying, and business park development. Inverness Airport anticipates
significant growth in the future.
