Princeton Airport (IATA: PCT, FAA LID: 39N) is a public-use airport located in Montgomery Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, three miles (5 km) north of the central business district of Princeton and just west of Rocky Hill. The airport is privately owned by Princeton Aero Corp. The airport also houses the Raritan Valley Flying School, Princeton Pilot Shop, Pacific Aircraft, Analar Helicopter Charter, Air Transport Charter, and Nassau Helicopters. History
The airport was established by Richard A. Newhouse (original spelling Neuhaus). Among his other aviation-related projects, in 1911 he built a plane of his own design, featuring separate floating ailerons — a major innovation, as the planes of that time used wing warping for roll control.
On March 29, 1985, the airport was purchased by Princeton Aero Corp. Principals of the company are members of the Nierenberg family, previously the fixed base operator at Kupper Airport for eighteen years.

Princeton Airport covers an area of 104 acres (40 ha) which contains one paved runway (10/28) measuring 3,500 x 75 ft (1,067 x 23 m).
