Pearland Regional Airport (ICAO: KLVJ, FAA LID: LVJ) is in Brazoria County, Texas, near Pearland in Greater Houston, 17 miles (27 km) south of Downtown Houston. It was formerly Clover Field.[2]

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Pearland Regional Airport is LVJ to the FAA and has no IATA code.[3]

It was in the Pearland city limits from November 27, 2017, until March 26, 2018.

Facilities

The airport covers 450 acres (180 ha); its single runway, 14/32, is 4,313 x 75 ft (1315 x 23 m) concrete. In the year ending May 30, 2000 the airport had 87,125 aircraft operations, average 238 per day: 99.7% general aviation and 0.3% air taxi. 175 aircraft were then based at the airport: 94% single-engine, 2% multi-engine and 4% helicopter.[1]

History

The airport opened in 1950 and is owned by Clover Acquisition Corporation.[4]

In April 2010 a small single-engine plane took off from Pearland Regional Airport and crashed shortly thereafter in Friendswood, about a mile south of the airport. The pilot was killed.[5]

The land with the airport, "Area L", is an unincorporated area;[6] it was annexed by the City of Pearland on November 27, 2017.[7] However, in March 2018 the Pearland city council voted to deannex the territory.[8] It was de-annexed effective March 26, 2018.[7]
