The air- port is one of only two airports in Arkansas with Aerial Shot of Rogers Executive Airport U.S. Customs and Border Protection services on- site to accommodate international flights. “The airport is no longer a small municipal airport and the new name helps reflect that,” Tempel added. Tourism and Recreational Aviation Growth “The advantages offered by the Rogers Executive Airport are not limited to our busi- ness aviation customers,” said Ray Hobbs, Airport Commission Chairman. Tourism and recreational flying are growing market segments. “We are convenient to numerous business interests including the Walmart Corporate Headquarters, as well as popular area attractions and recreation destinations, such as the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Walmart AMP (Arkansas Music Pavilion), Downtown Rogers, Beaver Lake, and regional sports venues,” Hobbs added. Accord- ing to Rogers Executive Airport officials, an estimated 50,000 - 75,000 business and leisure travelers pass through the airport annually. “The airport is no longer a small municipal airport and the new name helps reflect that.” ~ Clyde Tempel, Rogers Airport Commission Airport’s History Shaping Its Future Tempel and Krutsch point to the airport’s past for setting up a good flight plan for its future. For over 60 years, the Rogers Airport has played an important role in the economic development of the region. The Airport helped support the growth of the area’s poultry industry in the late 1940’s. From what was then a grass strip, the first weekly air shipment of broilers arrived in November, 1949, and within three years, some 20 million broilers were transported via the airport. The runway was paved in 1958 and expansion of the once small strip continues today. Much of the airport’s infra- structure has been reconstructed or substantially improved over the past decade. “The Rogers Executive Airport is primed for growth and well positioned to meet the aviation needs of the region”, said Krutsch.
