Oakland/Troy Airport (ICAO: KVLL, FAA LID: VLL) is a county-owned public-use airport located two miles (3.2 km) east of the central business district of Troy, a city in Oakland County, Michigan, United States.[1] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a regional reliever airport facility.[2]
The Oakland/Troy Airport is considered the county's "executive" airport. Business travelers and tourists using private, corporate and charter aircraft benefit from the airport's convenient proximity to business, recreation and entertainment facilities.[3] It is located between Maple Road and 14 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway and Crooks Road.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Oakland/Troy Airport is assigned VLL by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[4] (which assigned VLL to Valladolid, Spain[5]). Oakland/Troy was formerly designated 7D2 but changed March 17, 2005 after an automated weather station was installed at the field.
