Allegheny County Airport (IATA: AGC, ICAO: KAGC) is located in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, four miles (6 km) southeast of the city of Pittsburgh. It is the fifth busiest airport in Pennsylvania following Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Harrisburg. The airport is owned by the Allegheny County Airport Authority and serves as the primary FAA designated reliever airport for Pittsburgh International Airport. It was historically the main entrance to metro Pittsburgh via air from its inception up until the early 1950s when Pittsburgh International opened. Like many other historic "municipal" fields throughout the country, Allegheny serves small and mid-sized private, corporate and commercial traffic well, but was not built to handle the constant traffic of international jet service that arrived in the 1950s and 1960s at the newer, more modern Pittsburgh International Airport.
The airport is popular among business travelers because of its very close proximity to downtown as opposed to Pittsburgh International Airport. It is also much closer to the South Hills and Monroeville than Pittsburgh International.
The airport also enjoys a Hollywood big screen moment in 2004's The Mothman Prophecies, serving as the small "Pt. Pleasant" airport where the governor and Richard Gere debate how serious the impending crisis is in the river town. Also the Airport and Terminal were used in the 1986 movie "Gung Ho" starring Michael Keaton Facilities
Allegheny County Airport covers 432 acres (1.75 km) and has two active runways and one helipad:
- Runway 10/28: 6,501 x 150 ft (1,982 x 46 m), Surface: Concrete
- Runway 13/31: 3,825 x 100 ft (1,166 x 30 m), Surface: Concrete
- Helipad H1: 47 x 45 ft (14 x 14 m), Surface: Concrete
Future Improvements
The Allegheny County Airport Authority has received $2 million from the federal stimulus bill for construction at the Allegheny County airport. The money will be used to renovate four taxiways. It will also be used to reconfigure aircraft apron areas. This will allow for future construction on aircraft maintenance hangers and ramp space associated for the maintenance areas. Construction was scheduled to begin July 20, 2009. The airport expected 40 new jobs to be created with the project but says it is the gateway for more jobs when the aircraft maintenance facility construction starts. The construction will help improve the layout of the airfield.
