North Bass Island Airport (FAA LID: 3X5) is a public airport located on North Bass Island, Ohio, United States. It is owned and operated by the Put In Bay Township Port Authority.[1]
Approaches to the airport are challenging due to the airport's close proximity to the Canadian border. Canadian airspace is 2 miles from the runway's threshold.[2]
The airport is mainly used to bring mail to North Bass Island and to transport citizens to and from nearby islands as well as mainland Ohio.[2]
The airport received a $22,000 grant in 2021 to provide economic relief funds for costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, debt service payments, and combating the spread of pathogens.[3]
The airport received $113,000 from the Federal Aviation Administration in late 2023.[4]
