Philip Billard Municipal Airport (IATA: TOP, ICAO: KTOP, FAA LID: TOP) is a public airport three miles (4.8 km) northeast of downtown Topeka, the capital city of Kansas and the county seat of Shawnee County. It is owned by the Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority.[1]
Commercial airline service for Topeka used this airport until 1976. Beginning in the early 1940s TWA, Continental, and Braniff Airways stopped here, and Ozark appeared for a couple years starting around 1951. Braniff left in 1954 and Continental in 1961; Central replaced TWA in 1958 and merged into the original Frontier Airlines in 1967. Frontier continued serving the airport until the move to Forbes Field, now the Topeka Regional Airport, in 1976.[2]
