Dennis F. Cantrell Field (ICAO: KCWS, FAA LID: CWS, formerly M03) was a public use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) southeast of the central business district of Conway, in Faulkner County, Arkansas, United States. It is owned by the City of Conway.[1]
It is replaced with the new Conway Airport at Cantrell Field since September 2014.[2]
This airport was included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport.[3]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned CWS by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[4] (CWS was once assigned to Center Island, Washington airport, which is now 78WA).[5]
Facilities and aircraft
Dennis F. Cantrell Field covers an area of 198 acres (80 ha) at an elevation of 316 feet (96 m) above mean sea level. It had two asphalt paved runways: 8/26 is 4,875 by 100 feet (1,486 x 30 m) and 18/36 is 3,278 by 60 feet (999 x 18 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending January 31, 2010, the airport had 16,000 aircraft operations, an average of 43 per day: 94% general aviation, 3% air taxi, and 3% military. At that time there were 41 aircraft based at this airport: 73% single-engine, 22% multi-engine, 2% jet, and 2% helicopter.[1]
Development
The airfield was sold for around six million dollars and will be transformed in to a shopping destination and lifestyle center named "Central Landing". It will be anchored by Arkansas-based Dillard’s Department Store and is scheduled to open in September of 2016.[6]
