    Location

The Spirit of St. Louis Airport is conveniently and strategically located in the heart of the St. Louis area's westward expansion and growth. Minutes from downtown St. Louis and the rapidly expanding Clayton secondary business district, Spirit provides rapid access to the business and financial corridors of the metropolitan St. Louis area. Major hotels, restaurants, premium golf courses and recreational facilities are all easily accessible, another attraction in the lengthy list of benefits. Spirit's speedy ground access to Lambert International Airport provides for easy airline connections should you require them, yet Spirit is far enough away to avoid the crowded and hectic air carrier flight traffic.

    Facts

Spirit of St. Louis Airport has been St. Louis' premier general aviation airport since 1964 and it has been the second busiest airport in the FAA Central Region (Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa and Kansas). Spirit is a prime reliever for Lambert Airport and works in conjunction with them to avoid flight delays. Spirit Airport is owned and operated by the St. Louis County Government. Funding for Spirit comes from the airport's users, not general revenue tax dollars. Many St. Louis corporations base their aircraft at Spirit because of its close proximity to their homes in the Chesterfield/West County area. In addition, Spirit is a convenient destination for transient aircraft that wish to avoid the heavy traffic of Lambert Airport, but still desire the convenience of a close proximity to St. Louis. Spirit is the Business Aviation Center for the Midwest.
