Zelienople Municipal Airport (ICAO: KPJC, FAA LID: PJC) is a public use airport in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States. It located one nautical mile (2 km) west of the central business district of Zelienople, a borough in Butler County, Pennsylvania, in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The airport is owned by the Borough of Zelienople and operated by the Zelienople Municipal Authority. It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.
Though it primarily serves the community of Zelienople in Butler County, the airport is actually over the county line in neighboring Beaver County. It is located in Fombell, Pennsylvania, Franklin Township. Fire response consists of 2 Engines, 1 Tanker, 1 Brush Truck, 1 Squad, and Command Vehicle. The airport is between PA 288 and PA 588. The airport began service in 1958, and is one of the many medium sized airports located north of the city of Pittsburgh.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned PJC by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned PJC to Pedro Juan Caballero Airport in Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay). The airport's ICAO identifier is KPJC.

Famous quotes containing the words municipal and/or airport:
“No sane local official who has hung up an empty stocking over the municipal fireplace, is going to shoot Santa Claus just before a hard Christmas.”
—Alfred E. Smith (1873–1944)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
