Bentonville Municipal Airport (ICAO: KVBT, FAA LID: VBT) is a city-owned, public-use airport located 2 nmi (3.7 km) south of the central business district of Bentonville, a city in Benton County, Arkansas, United States. It is also known as Louise M. Thaden Field or Louise Thaden Field, a name it was given in 1951 to honor Louise McPhetridge Thaden (1905–1979), an aviation pioneer from Bentonville.
This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorizes it as a general aviation facility.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Bentonville Municipal Airport is assigned VBT by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.




History


The airport was leased to O. W. Coda in 1956.
Consideration was given to relocating Lake Bentonville to extend the runway by 1,000 ft (300 m) in 2006.
The master plan for the airport was updated in 2016. Two years later, a major update of the airport was completed, including a new flight center, public meeting rooms, a museum, and a restaurant, "Louise", added to the northern border with Lake Bentonville.
