Marion County Regional Airport (FLP)

Marion County Regional Airport (FLP) is a public-use general aviation facility located one mile north of Flippin, Arkansas, in the heart of the Ozark Mountains. The airport features a single 5,000-foot asphalt runway (04/22) and serves as a premier gateway for outdoor enthusiasts visiting the White River, world-renowned for its trophy trout fishing. It is a vital hub for private aircraft and corporate flights supporting the local manufacturing industry and the growing tourism sector in north-central Arkansas. The passenger terminal provides a functional and comfortable environment for pilots and visitors. Managed directly by the county, the facility includes a 24-hour accessible pilot's lounge, flight planning resources, and restroom facilities. The Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) offers essential services such as 24-hour self-service 100LL and Jet A aviation fuel, as well as minor airframe and powerplant maintenance. While the terminal building is compact, it offers modern amenities including high-speed Wi-Fi and a crew car for transient pilots to access local services in Flippin. As a general aviation airport, there are no scheduled commercial airline services at FLP. Travelers using the facility typically arrive via private or chartered aircraft and must arrange ground transportation in advance. Rental car services can be coordinated through local providers for delivery to the terminal, and the airport's location offers easy access to State Highway 178. The facility is also a popular stop for recreational pilots touring the scenic Ozarks, though they should be mindful of the high volume of wildlife activity in the vicinity.
