Laconia Municipal Airport

LCI originated in 1935 and was located just a few miles from Belknap Mill. In 1941, with WWII raging, the airport was relocated to its present location as it had outgrown the original field. It was intended as an emergency landing field and training center. In 1941, the Laconia Airport Authority was established to operate and manage the airport. Construction began on two runways, 8/26 and 17/35, with both runways 3,500 by 150 feet. Runway 8/26 was extended by 1,000 feet in 1963 and again in 1965, whereas Runway 17/35 was closed in 1976 due to the maintenance deterioration of the approach. Its first scheduled airline flights were by Northeast in June 1950. In 1969 they were replaced by Winnipesaukee Airlines, which continued the route until they were bought out by Precision Airlines, which continued providing service until 1983. In 1987 Valley Airlines began air carrier service until 1989, when Skymaster took over the route. The route was discontinued in 1993, and since then, there has been no scheduled airline service at LCI.

The airport is located three miles northeast of the central business district of Laconia.
