Highland County Airport (ICAO: KHOC, FAA LID: HOC) is a public-owned, public-use airport located at 9500 North Shore Drive three nautical mile (4.8 km) southeast of the central business district of the city of Hillsboro, in Highland County, Ohio, United States.[1]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned HOC by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned HOC to Komako Airport in Komako, Papua New Guinea[3]).
In 2023, the owner of Hangar 6, a business at the airport, filed a lawsuit against the county commissioners and airport authority over taxes.[4]
Highland County Airport covers an area of 15 acres (6.1 ha) at an elevation of 977 feet (298 m) above mean sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway: 05/23 is 3,520 by 75 feet (1,073 x 23 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2021, the airport had 9,125 aircraft operations, an average of 25 per day: 98% general aviation, 3% military, and <1% air taxi. At that time there were 16 aircraft based at this airport, all single-engine airplanes.[1][5]
The airport has a fixed-base operator that sells avgas.[6]
