Located just 7 kilometers northeast of Oxford, Granville County, North Carolina, the Henderson-Oxford Airport serves as a vital hub for regional air travel. Operated by the Oxford-Henderson Airport Authority, this public-use facility plays a key role in connecting the local community to broader aviation networks.
Classified as a general aviation airport under the FAA's 2011-2015 National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS), the airport demonstrates remarkable adaptability for diverse flight operations. Spanning 220 acres (89 hectares) at an elevation of 161 meters (527 feet), it features a single runway measuring 1,525 meters (5,003 feet) in length and 30 meters (100 feet) in width—capable of accommodating a wide range of aircraft.
Unlike many U.S. airports that share identical FAA and IATA codes, Henderson-Oxford Airport operates without an assigned IATA code (such as "HNZ"). This distinctive characteristic underscores the airport's unique operational profile while presenting both opportunities and challenges for future development.
With its strategic location and robust infrastructure, the airport continues to support regional economic growth while maintaining its commitment to safe and efficient general aviation services.
