The facility houses an FAA Part 145 Repair Station offering aircraft maintenance, avionics sales and installation, plus flight training through the Upper Valley Flying Club and Sharkey's Helicopters for both fixed-wing and rotorcraft instruction. The airport processed 26,123 aircraft operations in 2018 (68% general aviation, 31% air taxi, 1% military) with 41 based aircraft including jets, helicopters, and various piston aircraft. Lebanon Municipal Airport serves as a crucial transportation hub for New Hampshire's Upper Valley region, supporting Dartmouth College, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and the broader business community with reliable commercial and general aviation connectivity. The tower-controlled facility operates from 6 AM to 10 PM local time, transitioning to non-towered operations overnight to accommodate diverse aviation needs while maintaining safety standards.
