About 01J
Off the beaten path… but still close to the heart of it all.
Our History
Hilliard Airpark was founded in 1969 after a parcel of land was deeded by Nassau County to the Town of Hilliard.
The initial runway length was 2,000 feet but was later lengthened to 3,600 feet after additional land acquisition.
Runway 18-36 features pilot-activated lighting, PAPI at both ends, and is accessible via 4 taxiway entry points.
Currently, Hilliard Airpark is home to 25 hangars in private use, as well as a modern FBO building with a pilot lounge, flight planning center, conference room, kitchen with self-serve beverages and snacks, and multiple bathrooms.
