The Oakland/Troy Airport is considered the county's "executive" airport. Business travelers and tourists using private, corporate and charter aircraft benefit from the airport's convenient proximity to business, recreation and entertainment facilities.[3] It is located between Maple Road and 14 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway and Crooks Road.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Oakland/Troy Airport is assigned VLL by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[4] (which assigned VLL to Valladolid, Spain[5]). Oakland/Troy was formerly designated 7D2 but changed March 17, 2005 after an automated weather station was installed at the field.

2021 Airport Renovation

Runway 9/27 was changed to Runway 10/28 in October, 2021 after resurfacing the runway and changing taxiway signs. This maintenance was done along with runway resurfacing at Oakland County International Airport (KPTK) and Oakland/Southwest Airport (Y47). The construction has a planned completion date of 10/15/2021.
