Doylestown Airport (IATA: DYL, ICAO: KDYL, FAA LID: DYL) is a public use airport located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States and owned by the Bucks County Airport Authority. It is two nautical miles (3.7 km) north of the central business district of Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The airport is home to a single fixed base operator, Leading Edge Aviation, as well as a Civil Air Patrol squadron, flight training, and aircraft rentals. History
The Doylestown Airport was dedicated on December 24, 1964. Between the years of 1957 and 1960, the airport was owned and managed by John Van Sant, a popular aviator in Pennsylvania and founder of the Van Sant Airport. The airport is currently run by the Bucks County Airport Authority (BCAA).
Facilities and aircraft
Doylestown Airport covers an area of 200 acres (81 ha) at an elevation of 394 feet (120 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 5/23 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,004 by 60 feet (916 x 18 m).
For the 12-month period ending August 21, 2008, the airport had 42,000 aircraft operations, an average of 115 per day: 93% general aviation, 7% air taxi and <1% military. At that time there were 174 aircraft based at this airport: 92% single-engine, 7% multi-engine and 1% helicopter.
Expansion
Proposals to extend the single runway at Doylestown Airport are currently being debated. The BCAA wants to extend the runway by 800 feet to prepare for the expected increase in safety of airport activity. Along with the runway extension, more hangars are recommended to accommodate the increase in traffic. Many residents nearby are against such expansions, as they fear it will encourage more jets and unwanted noise. If approved, the 800 foot extension, 94+ aircraft hangar spaces, and other improvements will total a cost of $26.9 million.
