Mt. Hawley
Mount Hawley Airport boasts a 4,000 foot runway.
Rent a hangar at one comfortable and easily accessible location.
Mt. Hawley Airport is located in the heart of north Peoria’s business district, just a half mile south of the Route 6/I-474 interchange with Route 40 (Knoxville Rd). The airport’s location places it less than 10 minutes away from Caterpillar’s Mossville facilities, right across the parking lot from RLI’s corporate headquarters, and about 7 minutes from the headquarters of premium sunglass giant, Maui Jim, Inc.
Restaurants and hotels are within a 5 minute walk, and a free courtesy car is also available.
Beginning April 14, 2025, construction traffic will begin on Phase 1 of the new Air Traffic Control Tower.
Construction will take place for 1 year, immediately followed by Phase 2, which will take an additional year.
For the duration of the project, the main terminal drive will be reduced to one lane between the Old Tower and the merge to Dirksen Parkway. In this section of roadway, outbound traffic will use the left lane, and construction traffic will use the right lane. This is to allow consturction traffic access to the work site (as shown in the map below).
