Airport Overview
Ormond Beach Municipal Airport (KOMN/OMN) is a publicly owned general aviation airport operated by the City of Ormond Beach, Florida. It sits just north of Daytona Beach and roughly 5 miles from the Daytona Beach International (KDAB) airfield, serving as a quieter reliever for the north-shore beach communities. The airport handles light GA, flight training, business turboprops, and light jets.
Runway Capability
The two asphalt runways are 9/27 (4,005 ft) and 17/35 (3,704 ft). This length comfortably accommodates piston aircraft, turboprops, and light jets but is short for midsize and heavy jets. Operators of larger aircraft should run balanced-field and landing-distance numbers carefully, especially in summer heat, or consider nearby Daytona Beach International for longer runways.
FBO & Ground Services
Sunrise Aviation is the on-field FBO, offering both full- and self-serve 100LL and Jet-A, hangar and ramp parking, and in-house FAA-certified maintenance. It also operates a flight academy on the field. Crews should coordinate fuel, parking, and any handling needs in advance, as services are geared toward GA rather than large-cabin charter.
Tower, Approaches & Customs
KOMN has a part-time air traffic control tower operating 0700-1900 local; outside those hours the field reverts to a non-towered CTAF procedure. Instrument access is via RNAV (GPS) approaches to Runways 9, 17, and 27 — there is no ILS. There are no on-airport U.S. Customs (CBP) facilities; international arrivals should clear at a designated port of entry such as Daytona Beach or Orlando.
Charter Considerations
Ormond Beach is best suited to light jets and turboprops for charter. The Jet Finder matches aircraft to the 4,005-ft runway and sources Part 135 operators positioned near Central Florida. For one-way trips, we look for aircraft already repositioning through the Daytona area to reduce empty-leg costs. Travelers needing larger-cabin aircraft are often better served from KDAB or Orlando-area airports.
Seasonal & Weather Factors
Coastal Florida weather is the main operational variable. Warm-season afternoons bring fast-building convective thunderstorms, typically peaking between 2 and 6 p.m. local; morning departures are the most reliable. Sea-breeze winds and occasional fog also factor into planning. The low 28-ft elevation keeps density-altitude effects mild even on hot days.
Regional Context
The airport serves Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea, and the northern Daytona Beach area — a coastal market drawing motorsports, beach, and seasonal traffic. Daytona Beach International (KDAB) lies about 5 miles south for airline connections and longer runways, while Flagler Executive (KFIN) is roughly 11 miles north and Orlando's airports are about an hour southwest by car.
