___________________________________________________
Situated just one mile north of the city of Lexington, Oregon in Morrow County, the Lexington Airport (9S9) has served our community for more than eight decades. Established in December 1945, the field has evolved from its early beginnings into a modern, self-service general aviation airport that supports recreation, business, agricultural operations, and charter traffic.
A Legacy of Local Ownership
Thanks to the vision of our local leaders, Morrow County has proudly owned and operated the airport since 1960. This long‑standing governance ensures the facility remains rooted in our region’s values and responsive to the needs of pilots, visitors, and the local economy.
What We Offer
- A paved 4,156‑foot runway (08/26) set at an elevation of 1,634 feet above sea level, capable of serving a wide range of aircraft.
- 24‑hour, self‑serve 100 LL fuel available by credit card.
- Tie‑down space, hangar opportunities, and full access for general aviation, business aviation, agricultural spraying operations, and charter flights.
- A convenient location just off Highway 207 and close to the heart of Lexington, making it an ideal gateway to Eastern Oregon.
Why Pilots and Visitors Love It
Whether you’re stopping in for fuel, flying in for business, or heading out for a scenic tour of our region, you’ll find friendly service, reliable facilities, and the spacious open skies of Eastern Oregon. The airport’s agricultural heritage gives way to modern aviation opportunities—making it as much about community and commerce as it is about take‑offs and landings.
Looking Ahead
As Lexington Airport prepares to celebrate its 80th anniversary this December, we remain focused on building toward the future while honoring our long history of service. One of our key upcoming improvements is the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) Reconstruction Project, which will modernize our runway lighting and enhance safety for pilots approaching the field—especially during low‑visibility conditions and nighttime operations. This FAA‑funded and CORE grant funded project, coordinated in partnership with Century West Engineering, marks an exciting new chapter for Lexington 9S9. The upgrades will ensure the airport continues to meet federal aviation standards while maintaining the welcoming, small‑town character that pilots have come to love. We look forward to continuing our mission of supporting general aviation, local business, agriculture, and recreation—keeping Morrow County connected to the skies for decades to come.
Lexington is located one-half mile north of the city center, just west of Highway 207. The airport access road is located approximately one-half mile north of the intersection of Highway 207 and 74. The paved airport access road travels approximately ¼ mile from Highway 207 to the vehicle parking area.
