EVANSVILLE REGIONAL AIRPORT HISTORY
Built in 1928 on 260 acres (1.1 km²) of land along U.S. Highway 41 and funded by a city bond issue, the original airport had a small terminal, weather bureau, hangar, runways, boundary lights, grading, and drainage.
On June 16, 1930 the Evansville Municipal Airport and its two runways were dedicated. The runways, 100 X 1,200 feet and four inches thick, cost $30,000. The first Evansville Airport Manager was Werner J. Genot, who took charge on December 16, 1930.
Interstate Airlines made Evansville a stop on their Chicago-Atlanta and St. Louis-Louisville routes on October 19, 1928. Also in 1928, Capital Air Corporation started passenger service through Evansville. From February 1933 to September 1940, the airport did not have a commercial airline. At that time Eastern Airlines brought four flights a day to Evansville. This showed that Evansville’s airport needed to grow and plans were put in place for expansion.
