Millard Airport is a general aviation field on the southwestern edge of Omaha, Nebraska, offering a single hard-surfaced, lit runway for local and visiting VFR and IFR traffic. It sits under Omaha's approach airspace and is owned by the Omaha Airport Authority, which also runs the city's main airport, Eppley Airfield.
Millard Airport is a public general aviation aerodrome serving the greater Omaha area, situated about seven miles southwest of downtown. It is owned and operated by the Omaha Airport Authority, the same body that runs Eppley Airfield, Omaha's principal commercial airport. For a simulator pilot, Millard offers a straightforward, uncongested single-runway field close to a major Midwestern city, with a mix of light single- and twin-engine traffic and some air taxi movements.
The airport lies in Douglas County, Nebraska, within the Omaha metropolitan area, about seven miles southwest of the city's central business district. Traffic in the area is worked by Omaha Approach/Departure, reflecting Millard's position under or near controlled airspace associated with Eppley Airfield.
Millard Airport has a single physical runway, 12/30, hard-surfaced and lit. The database records a length of 3,576 feet for the 12 threshold and 3,788 feet for the 30 threshold. Field elevation is 1,047 feet. There is no ILS at the airport.

Millard Airport covers 165 acres and has a single asphalt-paved runway historically listed as 12/30, measuring 3,801 feet by 75 feet. It is owned and operated by the Omaha Airport Authority, which also owns and operates Eppley Airfield, Omaha's main commercial airport. In the twelve months to September 2021, the airport recorded 24,000 aircraft operations, an average of 66 per day, of which 94 percent were general aviation, 6 percent air taxi and under 1 percent military.
Millard remains an active general aviation field, with 125 aircraft based there as of the 2021 FAA data cited by Wikipedia: 115 single-engine aircraft, 9 multi-engine aircraft and one glider. The mix of operations, dominated by general aviation with a smaller proportion of air taxi and military movements, reflects its role as a training and personal-flying base within the Omaha area rather than a commercial hub.
