Spirit of St. Louis Airport covers an area of 1,300 acres (530 ha) and contains two parallel runways: 8L/26R measuring 5,000 x 75 ft (1,524 x 23 m) and 8R/26L measuring 7,485 x 150  (2,281 x 46 m), an all-weather, ILS-equipped runway.[1]

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2017, the airport had 94,764 aircraft operations, an average of 260 per day: 86% general aviation, 12% air taxi, 2% military and less than 1% commercial service. In March 2018, there were 394 aircraft based at this airport: 242 single-engine, 54 multi-engine, 78 jet and 20 helicopters.[1]

In 2007, the airport finished a multimillion-dollar expansion project to add a parallel taxiway to the north of 8L/26R. This added land is currently available to lease with taxiway access.

The Spirit of St. Louis Air Show returned to the airport, May 3–4, 2014, after being absent since 2007. It featured an interactive STEM Expo and a Veteran's Village. The US Navy Blue Angels headlined the event.[2]
