Ocala International Airport (IATA: OCF, ICAO: KOCF, FAA LID: OCF) is a city-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) west of the central business district of Ocala, a city in Marion County, Florida, United States. It is also known as Ocala International Airport-Jim Taylor Field, Ocala Regional Airport and/or Jim Taylor Field.
The airport is located approximately 31 miles south of the Gainesville Regional Airport.
Facilities and aircraft
Ocala International Airport covers an area of 1,532 acres (620 ha) at an elevation of 89 feet (27 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: Runway 18/36 measuring 7,463 by 150 feet (2,275 x 46 m) and Runway 8/26 measuring 3,010 by 50 feet (917 x 15 m).
The Ocala International Airport began in 1968 with one runway served by Eastern Airlines and then Allegheny Commuter Airlines. Scheduled air service was discontinued in the early 1980s, however the original facilities were expanded over the years to include a 3,000 foot crosswind runway, an extension of the main runway out to 6,900 feet, an all weather instrument landing approach, and FAA Part 139 certification. Due to several factors including airline deregulation, current runway length and strength, economic issues related to the operations of competing airports such as Gainesville Regional Airport, Orlando International Airport and Tampa International Airport, the likelihood of scheduled air carrier service returning to Ocala is unlikely.
In 2004, a $1.3 million improvement plan was put into motion that will upgrade apron security systems. The airport is the first within the State of Florida to utilize the polycon pavement surface treatment.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, the airport had 75,000 aircraft operations, an average of 205 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% air taxi and 1% military. At that time there were 145 aircraft based at this airport: 68% single-engine, 23% multi-engine, 6% jet and 3% helicopter.
In May of 2009 construction began on a control tower. The tower was certified and staffed in the summer of 2010.
