Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport (IATA: PNS, ICAO: KPNS, FAA LID: PNS) is a public airport located 3 miles (5 km) northeast of the city of Pensacola in Escambia County, Florida. Facilities
Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport covers 1,211 acres (490 ha) and has two runways:
- Runway 17/35: 7,004 x 150 ft. (2,135 x 46 m), Surface: Asphalt
- Runway 8/26: 7,000 x 150 ft. (2,133 x 46 m), Surface: Asphalt
The Runway 17 approach is equipped with a full instrument landing system and approach light system, while the Runway 26 approach is equipped with a localizer approach. A 1,000 ft. extension to the east end of Runway 8/26 was completed in 2006. The airport hopes to extend Runway 17/35 to about 8,500 ft. in the future, to better accommodate heavy aircraft.
Runway 17/35 was originally designated 16/34, and Runway 8/26 was designated 7/25. A gradual shift in magnetic north necessitated their re-designation during the 1980s. The airport's two war-era diagonal runways were decommissioned in the 1960s.

Pensacola has one passenger terminal consisting of 12 gates. Gates 9-12 are on the lower level and used for commuter flights.

AirTran: Gate 6
