KHLG is the ICAO code for Wheeling Ohio County Airport (IATA HLG), located in Wheeling, WV.
Wheeling Ohio County Airport (KHLG) is a medium airport in Wheeling, WV. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KHLG or IATA code HLG. It sits in North America.
Wheeling Ohio County Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,002-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.
The longest runway measures 5,002 ft (1,525 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.
Wheeling Ohio County Airport lies at 1,195 ft elevation.
Local operations run on America/New_York. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
SkyAccess currently tracks 81 departing and 176 arriving private-jet legs at KHLG across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 aircraft from 7 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.
Regional fields like KHLG are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
