Laconia: Airport for the Rich and Famous

Laconia Airport was built near Lake Winnipesaukee during World War II. It’s gone through a lot of changes over the decades, including several expansions, and the addition of a commercial airline.

When commercial service was cancelled in the 1990s due to competition from larger facilities, a lot of local residents lost interest in Laconia Airport. But over the past several summers, residents who live near the airport have been watching the skies with new curiosity.
