history

The airfield was founded in 1929. The Clinton County Air Force Base was located on the site from 1942 to 1972, and from 2003 DHL operated its North American air freight hub there .

In April 2009 DHL announced its move to the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport . In July 2009 the center for parcel sorting was closed, in January 2010 DHL gave the facilities away to Clinton County . The name was changed in 2012. In December 2015, the Seattle Times reported that Amazon.com was planning to use Airborne Park as the base for 20 Boeing 767 cargo planes. After a few aircraft had already been stationed at Wilmington Air Park, Amazon announced at the end of January 2017 that it would build a hub at the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport. After DHL, this was the second time that an important user was lost to the airport, which is located around 85 kilometers southwest in the neighboring state of Kentucky .
