Evansville Regional Airport (IATA: EVV, ICAO: KEVV, FAA LID: EVV) is three miles north of Evansville, in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, United States. It is owned by the Evansville/Vanderburgh Airport Authority.
Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 203,350 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2015 and 171,212 in 2014, indicating an 18.77% increase in yearly enplanements for the airport.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011-2015 calls it a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).
It has 34 daily flights to and from airline hubs: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Detroit, and Sanford/Orlando.
Built in 1928 on 260 acres (1.1 km²) of land along U.S. Highway 41 and funded by a city bond issue, the original airport had a small terminal, weather bureau, hangar, runways, boundary lights, grading, and drainage.
On June 16, 1930 the Evansville Municipal Airport was dedicated. The runways, 100 X 1,200 feet and four inches thick, cost $30,000. The first Evansville Airport Manager was Werner J. Genot, who took charge on December 16, 1930.
Interstate Airlines stopped at Evansville on their Chicago-Atlanta and St. Louis-Louisville routes on October 19, 1928. Also in 1928, Capital Air Corporation started passenger flights through Evansville. The airport did not have an airline from February 1933 until 1940, when Eastern Airlines started two departures a day. Plans were made for expansion.
In 1950 a new terminal opened at a cost of $787,000. The Evansville City Council passed an ordinance to change the name of the airport to Dress Memorial Airport on October 11, 1950, and on October 29, 1950, the new terminal was dedicated. The airport property now covered 467 acres; 347 acres was used for aircraft operations and 120 acres was used for agriculture.
