Pennridge Airport (ICAO: KCKZ, FAA LID: CKZ, formerly N70) is a public use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) north of the central business district of Perkasie, a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is privately owned by Pennridge Development Ent., Inc. The airport is situated in East Rockhill Township.
The airport is located on top of a ridge and is surrounded on every side by trees. Although the daily operations are under 100 takeoffs/landings, it is the largest privately owned airport between Philadelphia and Allentown.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned CKZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned CKZ to Canakkale Airport in Canakkale, Turkey). History
The airport has been in place in Perkasie since January 23, 1966, but when Byrant Aviation took over in 1968 the activity increased rapidly. In 1981, Andrew Deutsch, a nearby resident, bought the airport to save it from turning into a housing development. For a brief period in the late 1980s, a landing fee of $5-6 was charged to pilots.
On November 1, 2008 John McCain made a stop at Pennridge Airport during his 2008 campaign.
