Worland Municipal Airport is a city-owned general aviation field three miles south of Worland, Wyoming, on the Big Horn River in Washakie County. Its long asphalt main runway and pair of shorter turf strips have served the area since the airport was built in 1953, and it remains an active general aviation base today after losing its scheduled airline service in 2016.
Worland Municipal Airport sits in the Big Horn Basin of north-central Wyoming, owned and operated by the City of Worland. It is a Part 139 certificated general aviation airport with a B-II airport reference code, and while it no longer sees scheduled airline traffic, it continues to support local general aviation, air taxi and helicopter operations, making it a straightforward and useful stop for VFR pilots crossing this part of Wyoming.
The airport lies in Washakie County, about three miles south of the town of Worland, close to the Big Horn River. It falls under the overlying enroute airspace of Salt Lake City Center, with Casper providing radio outlet coverage for the area.
Worland has three physical runways. The main runway, 16/34, is 6,992 feet long, hard-surfaced and lit. Two shorter unlit runways cross it: 10/28 at 2,789 feet, and 04/22 at 2,280 feet, both with hard surfaces. There is no ILS at the field.
Weather is available via ASOS on 135.475 MHz. The field is served by CTAF/UNICOM on 123.05 MHz. Enroute traffic in the area works Salt Lake City Center on 133.25 MHz, with a Casper radio outlet available on 122.4 MHz.
Worland has no operating control tower, so arriving and departing traffic self-announces on the CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 123.05 MHz. Pilots should make standard position calls when approaching, joining the pattern and departing, coordinating with any other traffic in the vicinity of the field.
The airport is readily identified by its position roughly three miles south of Worland township and its proximity to the Big Horn River, which runs through the town and forms a useful line feature for pilots approaching from the north.
Worland Municipal Airport was built in 1953 and has long been owned and operated by the City of Worland. For many years it held Essential Air Service status, with Great Lakes Aviation providing subsidised scheduled flights to Denver via code-share arrangements with United Airlines and Frontier Airlines under a series of federal EAS contracts running from the late 1990s through the 2010s. Great Lakes Airlines ended its scheduled service at Worland on 30 September 2016, after which the airport reverted to a purely general aviation role.
Worland remains a full Part 139 certificated general aviation airport with a B-II airport reference code. Fixed base operations are provided on the field, including fuel, minor maintenance, sightseeing flights and a pilots' lounge. Around 15 aircraft are based at the airport, comprising single-engine types, a jet and several helicopters, and the field handles an average of around 59 aircraft movements a week, predominantly general aviation and air taxi traffic.
