Akron Executive Airport (IATA: AKC, ICAO: KAKR, FAA LID: AKR) is a general aviation airport located in the city of Akron in Summit County, Ohio, United States. It is owned by the City of Akron.
Named for longtime manager Bain Ecarius "Shorty" Fulton, it first opened in 1929 and has operated in several different capacities since then. Although the airport has only served general aviation for many years, it does technically have United States Customs facilities, and is therefore considered an international airport. The airport did have commercial scheduled airline service until the 1950s. It is now used for both cargo and private planes.
The Akron Executive Airport was dedicated in 1929 and has a long and storied history. Home to the original Goodyear Airdock where the first lighter than airships were built, the airport also is home to the All American Soap Box Derby, the Akron Rubber Bowl, and is within five miles of the world renown Firestone Country Club and within four miles of the City of Akron's central business district.
Since its founding in 1929 the airport was known as Akron Fulton Airport. On August 3, 2018 it was officially renamed Akron Executive Airport.
