Leesburg International Airport (LEE)

Leesburg International Airport (LEE) is a prominent general aviation facility located in Lake County, Florida, approximately 35 miles northwest of Orlando. Because the airport primarily serves private, corporate, and recreational aircraft, its terminal functions are centered around a main administration building and a dedicated fixed-base operator (FBO) facility managed by SunAir Aviation. This FBO serves as the primary hub for pilots and passengers, offering a range of professional amenities including a pilot lounge, snooze rooms, and well-appointed conference rooms for business meetings. The facility is uniquely designated as a U.S. Customs "User Fee" Airport and Port of Entry, featuring a dedicated U.S. Customs office that allows international flights to clear customs directly at the field. This makes LEE a convenient and efficient entry point for international corporate travelers looking to avoid the congestion of larger metropolitan hubs. Inside the terminal area, visitors have access to a flight planning room equipped with WSI weather systems, complimentary Wi-Fi, and various refreshments. Ground transportation is well-supported with on-site car rental services and a courtesy vehicle available for transient crews. Operations at Leesburg International are supported by an attended control tower and FBO services that typically operate daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The airport features two primary asphalt runways, including the 6,300-foot Runway 13/31, which is capable of accommodating a wide range of business jets and private aircraft. Additionally, the airport includes a seaplane ramp on its south side with direct access to Lake Harris, catering to Florida's active seaplane community. While there are no scheduled commercial airline services at LEE, its strategic location near U.S. Highway 441 and Florida's Turnpike ensures easy access for those utilizing private or chartered aviation services.
