The parking lot with the Orange Square is open for use and tie-downs are in place for aircraft. Twin engine aircraft will need to alert operations if they are going to tie down so they can prepare the area. The aircraft can tie-down overnight. There is no charge 0-30 days, per our schedule of fees, and $35.00/mo after the 30 days.

The area surrounded by the Blue Shape is a parking location at Colgan Air Services, who offer numerous services such as fuel, car rentals, maintenance, and much more.

A list of their full services can be found at: https://colgan-air.com/aircraft-management/

The location with the Purple Square is another free parking location with access to the T-hangars, but no access to Colgan Air Services and the Airport Terminal.

Fixed Base Operator

In addition to serving our commercial passengers, La Crosse Regional Airport also offers services and amenities to small, private aircraft.

Whether traveling for business using corporate jets or piloting small aircraft into the area for leisure activities, such as local sporting events, we offers first class services and amenities to make your visit as safe and enjoyable as possible.

Hot Spots

The La Crosse Airport has two hotspots listed on the airfield diagram as HS1 and HS2.

HS1 - The following pictures show this area which is on Taxiway C approaching the approach end of Runway 36. Because the safety area for Runway 4 is over Taxiway C, the mandatory hold marking is offset on Taxiway C. Please pay attention to this hot spot when taxing. Wig-Wags, enhanced markings, dual signage, and painted hold short signs are all available to catch your attention.

HS2 - This hot spot is located at the intersection of Taxiway A, A3, and B. This area is also adjacent to an apron. This wide expanse of pavement with multiple turning options to a taxiing aircraft can become disoriented. Please pay attention to this hot spot when taxiing and if in doubt request further instructions from Air Traffic Control.
