University Park Airport (IATA: SCE, ICAO: KUNV, FAA LID: UNV) is a public airport located in Benner Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. The airport serves the towns of State College and Bellefonte, and the surrounding area. The airport is owned by The Pennsylvania State University, but the terminal building and parking areas are owned and operated by the Centre County Airport Authority. It is served by several regional airlines, connecting to hubs in the northeast and midwest. Services at the airport include a fixed base operator (FBO), fuel, flight planning services, aircraft repair, and hangar rental. Amenities include a snack bar in the terminal building, a pilot lounge, and conference rooms. Taxi and limousine services, and car rentals are also available. History
Starting in the 1950s, private pilots in the area had constructed a small airport on land leased from Penn State, just north of State College. Penn State assumed the lease and assets of the airport in 1972. The Centre County Airport Authority was created to manage the development of the airport. A permanent passenger terminal was built in 1985. A new passenger terminal was completed in 1993, and cargo operations moved to the original terminal building. The airport underwent a runway expansion project in 1997, and the main runway was lengthened to its present length. A new general aviation hangar was built in 2001.
Future plans for the airport include construction of a control tower and an instrument landing system beginning in 2007. Construction on the control tower began on January 8, 2010. University Park Airport is the busiest airport in the U.S. without an on-site air traffic control tower.
