Sheridan County Airport (IATA: SHR, ICAO: KSHR, FAA LID: SHR) is in Sheridan County, Wyoming, two miles southwest of Sheridan, Wyoming.[1] The airport is used for general aviation and sees one airline: Great Lakes Airlines flies to Denver, Colorado. Service was subsidized by the Essential Air Service program until February 2007, when Big Sky Airlines began providing subsidy free service[2] (suspended in January 2008).[3]

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 17,710 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[4] 14,181 in 2009 and 14,146 in 2010.[5] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).
