Capital City Airport (IATA: HAR, ICAO: KCXY, FAA LID: CXY) is a public airport located in Fairview Township, York County, Pennsylvania, three miles (5 km) southeast of the central business district of Harrisburg, the capital city of Pennsylvania. The airport serves the counties of Cumberland, Dauphin and York. It is also the home airport for the Pennsylvania Bureau of Aviation and the Pennsylvania State Police.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Capital City Airport is assigned CXY by the FAA and HAR by the IATA (which assigned CXY to Cat Cay, Bimini Islands, Bahamas). History
Originally called Capital Landing Field, the facility opened in mid-1930 and was Harrisburg's original commercial service airport. In 1934, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania purchased the facility and renamed it Harrisburg-York State Airport. The airport provided air service to the capital region and was an intermediate stop on longer air routes, principally the route between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. During those years, scheduled commercial air service was provided by Transcontinental and Western Airlines, TWA's predecessor.
During the 1940s, the airport continued in its role as the third largest airport in Pennsylvania and served an important role in the movement of war materials for the adjacent New Cumberland Army Depot, and as the site of the former Naval Photographic Reconnaissance Training School. During the 1950s and 1960's, both air carrier service and the number of FBO's increased steadily until 1968 when Olmsted Air Force Base, located just across the river in Middletown was closed and all scheduled commercial air service was transferred to newly named Harrisburg International Airport. It was at that time, that Capital City Airport received its current name and became the region's main general aviation airport.
Capital City Airport is located adjacent to the Defense Distribution Center, one of the largest military distribution centers for the warehousing of supplies and equipment for the U.S. Armed Forces. A parachutte rigger detachment from the 82nd Airborne Division also operates out of Capital City Airport.
Since 1999, Capital City Airport has been owned and operated by the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAA).
