Bentonville's Thaden Field Becoming World Class Destination Airport

Bentonville Municipal Airport Focuses on Community Enchrichment

Bentonville Airport is poised to become the best in class destination airport with an innovative masterplan. Also known as Thaden Field, the hometown airport has been in operation for 72 years and is home to a variety of private aircrafts from local aviators. Rather than competing with other private airfields in the area, Bentonville Municipal Airport will take a brilliant approach to attract locals and tourists. Aviation director of Runway NWA, a Walton backed civic group in Bentonville wants to focus on community enrichment.

Thaden Field will still offer the same excellent service to jets and vendors, and will also include a new dynamic to engage the community and visitors with interactive aviation related activities. "What we're trying to create [at Thaden Field] is a destination, where you're coming to the airport," he said, "Not the tall fences and the badges and the intimidating security, but more of the type of place you heard people 50 years ago saying, 'I grew up at the airport, the hangar doors were open, lawn chairs were out, people were flying in.'"
