Dunnellon/Marion County Airport

Dunnellon/Marion County Airport and Park of Commerce (FAA LID: X35) is a general aviation airport located four miles (6.4 km) east of Dunnellon, in Marion County, Florida, United States. It is also known as the Dunnellon/Marion County Airport, Dunnellon Airport and Marion County Airport.

In 1941, as America was gearing up for World War II, the Dunnellon Army Air Base was opened near the City of Dunnellon. Control was deeded to Marion County following the end of the war, with the facility being renamed the Dunnellon/Marion County Airport & Park of Commerce. Originally set on 500 acres (2 km²), the modern day version of the facility encompasses 1,706 acres (6.9 km²) of land. One runway was closed in the 1990s, reducing the airport to its current two. With new security fencing, electrical gates, a snack bar and additional T-hangars, the airport is not projected to require major expansion through 2020. The facility is located 38 miles south of Gainesville Regional Airport. Services available include 24-hour fuel, major airframe powerplant servicing. During 2006, the airport averaged 41 flights per day.
