Greenville Airport (GRE/KGRE) is a public general aviation airport in Greenville, Bond County, Illinois, about 50 miles east of St. Louis. It has a 3,000-foot asphalt runway and a turf runway, serving private pilots, flight training, and recreational flying rather than scheduled airlines. Owned by the City of Greenville, it offers a quiet alternative to the busy St. Louis airspace.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to check NOTAMs for the turf runway, which can be soft after heavy rain, and to use the self-service fuel pump early on weekends when local training traffic picks up.
🚖 Getting There
Greenville Airport is about a 5- to 10-minute drive north of downtown Greenville, reached via IL-127 and local roads; a car is the most practical option. There is no public transit directly to the airport, and taxi or rideshare availability can be limited, so book a ride or rental car ahead. From I-70, use the Greenville/IL-127 exit and follow signs into town, then local directions to the airport.
