Overview
Creve Coeur Airport (1H0) is a non-towered public-use field in St. Louis, Missouri, sitting roughly 8.76 nautical miles from the metro area and about 6.61 nautical miles from St. Louis Lambert International. The airport handles a modest volume of business aviation traffic, recorded by the FAA TFMSC at 760 operations in 2025 against 1,587 total annual operations. Its 4,500-foot concrete runway and shorter turf crosswind runway support a mix of general aviation activity, including antique aircraft operations and hover taxi training reported near the field. Field elevation is 462 feet, and fuel service covers both 100LL and Jet A during published attendance hours.
Creve Coeur Airport has two paved and unpaved runways. The longest, 16/34, is 4,500 ft long and 75 ft wide, with a concrete surface.

Creve Coeur Airport, local identifier 1H0, operates two runways. Runway 16/34 is a 4,500-foot concrete surface, 75 feet wide, and serves as the primary paved runway. Runway 07/25 is a 3,079-foot turf strip that is notably 220 feet wide. The airport is non-towered and has no air traffic control tower on the field.
1H0 offers both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel, with the Jet A supplied as kerosene treated with FSII. Fuel and field attendance follow a schedule of 0800 until dusk, seven days a week. There is no indication in the data that fuel availability changes outside these hours. Pilots operating outside the attended window should plan fuel needs accordingly.
Creve Coeur Airport applies a 12,500-pound maximum gross weight limit for unrestricted operations. Aircraft above that threshold require prior permission from the airport manager before landing. Taxiway and apron pavement strength for heavier aircraft must also be confirmed with the airport manager, since it is not published. This makes advance coordination necessary for any operator near or above the weight threshold at 1H0.
Creve Coeur Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is St. Louis Lambert International, identified as KSTL, located approximately 6.61 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to coordinate clearance through that facility rather than at 1H0 directly. Distance and routing to KSTL should be factored into any international arrival planning.
