Historically, Greenville had scheduled passenger service provided by [[Southern Airways]] commencing during the early 1950s from the former [[Greenville Municipal Airport (Mississippi)]] operated with [[Douglas DC-3]] prop aircraft flying daily round trip routings of Memphis - Greenville - Vicksburg - Jackson, MS - Natchez - Baton Rouge - New Orleans and Memphis - Greenville - Vicksburg - Jackson, MS - Laurel - Hattiesburg - Mobile.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/so/so5202/so5202-3.jpg |title=Timetable |publisher=www.timetableimages.com |date= |accessdate=2021-03-02}}</ref> Southern subsequently moved its service to Mid Delta Regional and in 1968 was operating six departures a day from the airport all with [[Martin 4-0-4]] prop aircraft with three nonstop flights a day to its Memphis hub as well as three direct, no change of plane flights a day to New Orleans via various stops en route.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/so/so68/so68-4.jpg |title=Timetable |publisher=www.timetableimages.com |date= |accessdate=2021-03-02}}</ref> Southern subsequently began operating [[Douglas DC-9-10]] jetliners from the airport on nonstop flights to Memphis with direct service to Baton Rouge and New Orleans via an intermediate stop in [[Monroe, Louisiana]] and also on a direct, one stop basis to Atlanta. Other DC-9 jet flights operated by Southern continued on direct, no change of plane routings to Chicago, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale. The July 1, 1978 Southern system timetable listed two nonstop DC-9 flights a day to its Memphis hub as well as one nonstop DC-9 flight a day to Monroe with this service continuing on to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Fort Walton Beach (served via [[Eglin Air Force Base]]), Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, and one nonstop DC-9 flight a day to Jackson with this service continuing on to Atlanta which also served as a hub for Southern.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/SO070178p10.html|title=SO070178p10|website=www.departedflights.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/SO070178.html|title=Southern Airways July 1, 1978 Route Map|website=www.departedflights.com}}</ref>
In February 1940, a [[United States Army Air Corps]] site selection board picked Greenville, Mississippi, as the location of a training center for the Second Aviation Initiative. By mid-June construction at the 2,000 acre, 140 building site was in full progress. The Air Corps activated '''Greenville Army Airfield''' in August 1940, only two months after construction commenced. The first planes arrived on 5 November, and the training of pilots began.


Southern then merged with [[North Central Airlines]] to form [[Republic Airlines]] which in turn continued to serve Greenville.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shifrin |first=Carole |date=1978-07-14 |title=North Central and Southern - More Airline Merger Talk |language=en-US |newspaper=Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1978/07/14/north-central-and-southern-more-airline-merger-talk/f831f189-84b4-4691-8278-7110d04bcd0c/ |access-date=2022-08-04 |issn=0190-8286}}</ref> According to the July 1, 1979 Republic system timetable, the airline was operating nonstop DC-9 jet service to Memphis where it was operating a hub as well as nonstop service to Monroe and was also operating direct, no change of plane DC-9 service to Atlanta (which also served as a hub for Republic), Baton Rouge, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Walton Beach via [[Eglin Air Force Base]], Greenville/Spartanburg, SC, Huntsville/Decatur, AL, Miami, New Orleans, New York City via [[LaGuardia Airport]], Orlando and Washington D.C. via [[Dulles Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/RC070179p20.html|title=RC070179p20|website=www.departedflights.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/RC070179.html|title=Republic Airlines July 1, 1979 Route Map|website=www.departedflights.com}}</ref> Republic subsequently ceased all flights from Greenville and had withdrawn from the market by 1986.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/RC042885.html|title=Republic Airlines April 28, 1985 Route Map|website=www.departedflights.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/RC030286.html|title=Republic Airlines March 2, 1986 Route Map|website=www.departedflights.com}}</ref>
The Army Air Forces Pilot Training School (Basic) conducted contract flying training until inactivated in Mar 1945. The airfield was reactivated on 5 June 1945 and was transferred to [[Air Technical Service Command]], becoming a sub-base of [[Brookley Army Airfield]], [[Alabama]]. ATSC used Greenville as a storage depot for returning [[Eighth Air Force|Eighth]] and [[Fifteenth Air Force]] [[B-24 Liberator]]s. During the summer, [[C-47]]s returning from Europe were also sent to Greenville for storage. Aircraft operations at the base consisted mostly of test flights, and flying stored aircraft to reclamation facilities. Storage of other types of aircraft began after the end of the war in September, with all the stored aircraft moved out by the end of June 1946. Greenville Army Airfield was inactivated on 22 July 1946 and turned over to the War Assets Administration for disposal.


On June 8, 1988, a [[USAF]] [[Lockheed C-130 Hercules]] of the [[189th Airlift Wing|189th Tactical Airlift Group]], [[Arkansas Air National Guard]], on a training flight from its home station of [[Little Rock AFB]], crashed 1.5 miles from Greenville Airport during an attempted approach. All 6 occupants were killed.<ref>{{ASN accident|id=19880608-0|title=61-2373|accessdate= July 27, 2023}}</ref>
The airfield was operated as a civilian airport in the late 1940s, however to handle increased pilot requirements for the [[Korean War]], the [[United States Air Force]] [[Air Training Command]] activated the former World War II airfield as '''Greenville Air Base''', on 1 December 1950 to be used as stations for contract flying schools. However, contract flying squadrons were not established until 1951 when the 3300th Flying Training Squadron was activated.


In 1989, [[Northwest Airlink]] nonstop service from [[Alexandria, Louisiana]], Memphis and Monroe was being operated on a [[code sharing]] basis by [[Express Airlines I]] on behalf of [[Northwest Airlines]] (which was operating a hub in Memphis at this time) with [[British Aerospace]] [[BAe Jetstream 31]] and [[Saab 340]] commuter turboprop aircraft.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/GLH89p1.html|title=GLH89p1|website=www.departedflights.com}}</ref>
ATC activated [[Graham Air Base]] [[Florida]] in January 1953 to replace Greenville Air Base as a contract pirmary pilot training School. Greenville was redesignated as '''Greenville Air Force Base''' and became a full, Air Training Command basic single-engine pilot training school, with the 3505th Pilot Training Wing (Basic, Single-Engine) as its operational training unit. Instruction was begun in April 1953 flying [[T-28 Trojan]]s. The wing was upgraded to jet trainers in 1955 when [[T-33 Shooting Star]]s arrived.


In May 2015, [[SeaPort Airlines]] announced that it planned to end service to and from the airport. After receiving proposals from four airlines, the Greenville city council unanimously chose [[Boutique Air]] as its next airline.<ref>{{cite news|title=Boutique Air will begin flying in and out of Greenville on October 1|url=http://deltadailynews.com/boutique-air-will-begin-flying-in-and-out-of-greenville-on-october-1/|accessdate=13 July 2016|publisher=Delta Daily News|date=August 12, 2015}}</ref>
On 1 December 1960, pilot training at Greenville AFB was discontinued and the 3505th Pilot Training Wing was inactivated. The T-33s were sent to the new Consolidated Pilot Training school at [[Craig AFB]], [[Alabama]]. Air Training Command initially wanted to close the base, however, owing to political pressure, several technical training courses were transferred to the base and the facility became a Technical Training Center for ATC. Between November 1960 and mid-1961, Greenville received six personnel courses from [[Lackland AFB]], [[Texas]] and two fire protection courses from [[Lowry AFB]], [[Colorado]] under the new 3505th Technical Training Wing. In 1962, several medical courses were also reassigned to Greenville from Lowry.


In July 2017, The US Department of Transportation has approved Greenville’s choice for subsidized air service.<ref name="GLH_2017"/> Boutique Air, which has been serving Mid Delta Regional Airport since 2015 would remain the carrier through 2021, with a caveat.<ref name="GLH_2017">{{cite web |url=http://deltadailynews.com/boutique-gets-greenville-nod-for-four-more-years/ |title=Boutique Gets Greenville Nod For Four More Years |publisher=Delta Daily News |date=26 July 2017 |access-date=22 July 2020 |archive-date=7 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507122050/http://deltadailynews.com/boutique-gets-greenville-nod-for-four-more-years/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
In December 1963, [[Robert McNamara|Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara]] announced that Greenville AFB would be closed in 1965 as part of budgetary reductions. During 1964, activities at Greenville AFB began to be phased down, initially by downgrading the 3505th to group status and moving medical courses to [[Gunter AFS]], [[Alabama]]; personnel courses moved to [[Amarillo AFB]], [[Texas]] and firefighting courses to [[Chanute AFB]], [[Illinois]]. On 1 April 1964, the 3505th TTG was inactivated. Greenville AFB was placed in caretaker status, being assigned as a sub-base to [[Keesler AFB]]. De-militarization activities were commenced and the military part of the airport was returned to full civilian control on 27 December 1966.


On 3 June 2018, a storm system destroyed the hangar and most of the aircraft at the airport.

We also find that during fiscal year 2013, Greenville generated a total of 5,836 passengers (inbound plus outbound). Consistent with the methodology described above, that results in an average of 9.3 enplanements per day, below the 10-enplanement statutory criterion necessary to remain eligible in the EAS program.

Greenville Mid-Delta Airport (IATA: GLH[2], ICAO: KGLH, FAA LID: GLH), operating as Mid Delta Regional Airport until 2011,[3][4] is a public use airport in unincorporated Washington County, Mississippi, United States.[5] It is located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) northeast of the central business district of Greenville, the city that owns the airport.[1] It is served by one commercial airline, Contour Airlines, which is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program. Formerly, the facility was known as Greenville Air Force Base.

As per the Federal Aviation Administration, this airport had 6,310 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[6] 6,290 in 2009, 6,609 in 2010,[7] 7,417 in 2011, and 5,181 in 2012.[8] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport.[9]

Facilities and aircraft

[edit]

Mid-Delta Regional Airport is the only commercial airport located in the Mississippi Delta.[10] Located approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north of central Greenville, MDRA is situated on 2,000 acres (810 ha) of land,[1] with a sizable portion in the Mid-Delta Empowerment Zone. A controlled airfield, MDRA has a control tower which is staffed from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., seven days a week.

The facility has two runways, the primary being 18L/36R which is composed of an asphalt surface 150 feet (46 m) wide by 8,001 feet (2,439 m) long. Runway 18L/36R is a precision approach runway with an Instrument landing System (ILS), medium approach lighting system with rails, (MALSR) approach lights and High Intensity Runway Lights (HIRLs). A parallel runway, 18R/36L, has an asphalt and concrete surface with a width of 150 feet (46 m) and length of 7,019 feet (2,139 m). Runway 18R/36L is a non-precision runway with Medium Intensity Runway Lights, (MIRL). The runways are connected by six taxiways. Ramp space is abundant, with 2,660,000 square feet (247,000 m2) of concrete ramp area.

For the 12-month period ending July 31, 2019, the airport had 22,974 aircraft operations, an average of 63 per day: 66% general aviation 28% military, 6% air taxi, and <1% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 7 aircraft based at this airport: 5 single-engine and 2 multi-engine.[1]

History

[edit]

Historically, Greenville had scheduled passenger service provided by Southern Airways commencing during the early 1950s from the former Greenville Municipal Airport (Mississippi) operated with Douglas DC-3 prop aircraft flying daily round trip routings of Memphis - Greenville - Vicksburg - Jackson, MS - Natchez - Baton Rouge - New Orleans and Memphis - Greenville - Vicksburg - Jackson, MS - Laurel - Hattiesburg - Mobile.[11] Southern subsequently moved its service to Mid Delta Regional and in 1968 was operating six departures a day from the airport all with Martin 4-0-4 prop aircraft with three nonstop flights a day to its Memphis hub as well as three direct, no change of plane flights a day to New Orleans via various stops en route.[12] Southern subsequently began operating Douglas DC-9-10 jetliners from the airport on nonstop flights to Memphis with direct service to Baton Rouge and New Orleans via an intermediate stop in Monroe, Louisiana and also on a direct, one stop basis to Atlanta. Other DC-9 jet flights operated by Southern continued on direct, no change of plane routings to Chicago, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale. The July 1, 1978 Southern system timetable listed two nonstop DC-9 flights a day to its Memphis hub as well as one nonstop DC-9 flight a day to Monroe with this service continuing on to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Fort Walton Beach (served via Eglin Air Force Base), Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, and one nonstop DC-9 flight a day to Jackson with this service continuing on to Atlanta which also served as a hub for Southern.[13][14]

Southern then merged with North Central Airlines to form Republic Airlines which in turn continued to serve Greenville.[15] According to the July 1, 1979 Republic system timetable, the airline was operating nonstop DC-9 jet service to Memphis where it was operating a hub as well as nonstop service to Monroe and was also operating direct, no change of plane DC-9 service to Atlanta (which also served as a hub for Republic), Baton Rouge, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Walton Beach via Eglin Air Force Base, Greenville/Spartanburg, SC, Huntsville/Decatur, AL, Miami, New Orleans, New York City via LaGuardia Airport, Orlando and Washington D.C. via Dulles Airport.[16][17] Republic subsequently ceased all flights from Greenville and had withdrawn from the market by 1986.[18][19]

On June 8, 1988, a USAF Lockheed C-130 Hercules of the 189th Tactical Airlift Group, Arkansas Air National Guard, on a training flight from its home station of Little Rock AFB, crashed 1.5 miles from Greenville Airport during an attempted approach. All 6 occupants were killed.[20]

In 1989, Northwest Airlink nonstop service from Alexandria, Louisiana, Memphis and Monroe was being operated on a code sharing basis by Express Airlines I on behalf of Northwest Airlines (which was operating a hub in Memphis at this time) with British Aerospace BAe Jetstream 31 and Saab 340 commuter turboprop aircraft.[21]

In May 2015, SeaPort Airlines announced that it planned to end service to and from the airport. After receiving proposals from four airlines, the Greenville city council unanimously chose Boutique Air as its next airline.[22]

In July 2017, The US Department of Transportation has approved Greenville’s choice for subsidized air service.[23] Boutique Air, which has been serving Mid Delta Regional Airport since 2015 would remain the carrier through 2021, with a caveat.[23]

On 3 June 2018, a storm system destroyed the hangar and most of the aircraft at the airport.

On 11 August 2021, Contour Airlines was announced as Greenville Mid-Delta Airport's (GLH) new federal Essential Air Service (EAS) air carrier, with daily service to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and five-times weekly service (every day except Tuesdays and Saturdays) to Nashville International Airport (BNA). Contour Airlines replaced Boutique Air at the airport from 1 October 2021 and currently operates Embraer ERJ-135 regional jets on its services.[24][25]

    • Order 2014-4-24 (April 22, 2014) Archived 2012-09-25 at the Wayback Machine: prohibits Silver Airways Corp., from terminating service at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Greenville, Laurel/Hattiesburg, Meridian, and Tupelo, Mississippi, for 30 days beyond the end of the air carrier's 90-day notice period, i.e. August 7, 2014. We are also requesting proposals from air carriers interested in providing Essential Air Service (EAS) at Muscle Shoals, Greenville, Laurel/Hattiesburg, Meridian, and/or Tupelo.
    • Order 2014-4-26 (April 24, 2014) Archived 2012-09-25 at the Wayback Machine: directing interested persons to show cause as to why the Department should not terminate the eligibility ... under the Essential Air Service (EAS) program based on criteria passed by Congress in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Public Law No. 112-95). We find that Greenville is within 175 miles of a large or medium hub, Memphis International Airport (MEM), a medium hub, and, thus, is subject to the 10-enplanement statutory criterion. We also find that during fiscal year 2013, Greenville generated a total of 5,836 passengers (inbound plus outbound). Consistent with the methodology described above, that results in an average of 9.3 enplanements per day, below the 10-enplanement statutory criterion necessary to remain eligible in the EAS program.
