Landing at klgu logan cache airport
Logan-Cache Airport (IATA: LGU, ICAO: KLGU, FAA LID: LGU) is three miles northwest of Logan in Cache County, Utah. It is governed by the Logan-Cache Airport Authority formed by Inter-local Agreement between Cache County and Logan City in 1992. The Airport was previously owned by Cache County and managed by the County Commissioners. The Authority is governed by a seven-member board: The Mayor of Logan, the Cache County Executive, two members appointed by the Mayor, two members appointed by the County Executive and the seventh member appointed by the other board members. The mayor and executive serve during their terms in elected office and the other five members serve for a period of two years and may be reappointed. The authority is subsidized by Logan City and Cache County and has no power to tax or bond for additional funding. Its revenues are derived from leases of land, buildings, fuel flow fees and tie down fees.
