Eugene Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Eugene Airport (IATA: EUG, ICAO: KEUG), also known as Mahlon Sweet Field, is a public airport located 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Eugene, in Lane County, Oregon. |
 | | The airport also has an expanded air cargo facility to serve the growing air cargo demands of the region, and one fixed base operator (FBO) to handle general aviation needs. |
 | | The airport was named for Mahlon Sweet (1886 - 1947), a Eugene automobile dealer who was a strong supporter of aviation and pushed to get the now-defunct Eugene Air Park built in 1919, followed by the current airfield in 1943. |
