Ozark Regional Airport (KBPK), also known historically as Baxter County Airport, lies in the Arkansas Ozarks a few miles northwest of Mountain Home. It offers a single long, lit, ILS-equipped runway and full-service fuel, making it a useful and welcoming stop for visiting general aviation pilots in this part of the state.
Ozark Regional Airport, sited a short distance northwest of Mountain Home in Baxter County, Arkansas, is a county-owned public-use general aviation airport. It is operated by the Baxter County Airport Authority and, despite its rural setting in the Ozark hills, offers instrument approach capability and a single generously long runway, making it a practical destination for touring pilots exploring the lakes region around Bull Shoals and Norfork.
The airport sits close to Mountain Home, a city in Baxter County, Arkansas, with the field itself located a few nautical miles northwest of the town centre. Weather is available locally via ASOS, and the airport falls under the overlying Memphis Center for en-route traffic.
The airport has a single physical runway, 05/23, 4,989 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting. An ILS approach serves runway 05.
Pilots can obtain automated weather on the ASOS frequency 133.975 MHz. Memphis Center is available on 126.85 MHz for en-route services. The common traffic advisory frequency and unicom is 123.0 MHz.
The airport was originally known as Baxter County Airport before being renamed Ozark Regional Airport in 2005 in an effort to reflect a broader regional identity. It later reverted to the name Baxter County Airport after the Ozark Regional name caused confusion with the separate airports serving Ozark, Arkansas, and Ozark, Missouri. In the 1990s the field saw scheduled airline service, with Lone Star Airlines operating flights to Dallas-Fort Worth International. The airport has been included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems, which classifies it as a general aviation facility.
Today the field is used almost entirely for general aviation, with a smaller proportion of military and air taxi movements. An on-site FBO, Big Air, has provided full-service 100LL and Jet-A fuel from the airport's main ramp, located between taxiways Delta and Echo. The airport supports a resident fleet of light singles, twins and jets.
