Ogden Hinckley Airport

Ogden Hinckley sits at 4,473 feet elevation, which affects aircraft performance calculations, particularly in summer. The main runway (16/34) runs 8,103 feet, which accommodates most large-cabin jets without restriction. This is a practical alternative to Salt Lake City International for passengers headed to northern Utah, Ogden Valley, or the ski resorts east of the city. No slots, no congestion.

The FBO ramp is uncrowded compared to SLC, and turnaround times are predictable. Ground handling is efficient for a regional airport. This is the right airport if your destination is Ogden itself, the Weber County area, or the mountain resorts to the east. If your destination is downtown Salt Lake City or the Wasatch Front south of Ogden, SLC is closer by 25 to 30 minutes.

Downtown Ogden is 3 miles from the airport, about 7 minutes by car. Snowbasin ski resort is 22 miles east via Highway 167, roughly 30 minutes in normal conditions. Powder Mountain is 26 miles northeast, about 35 minutes. Park City and the Cottonwood Canyon resorts (Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude) are better served from SLC, which adds 40 minutes of driving. Car rentals are available on the field. Pre-arranged car service from Salt Lake City-based operators covers the airport with advance notice.
