Adirondack Regional Airport - Facilities and Aircraft

Facilities and Aircraft

Adirondack Regional Airport covers an area of 1,499 acres (607 ha) at an elevation of 1,663 feet (507 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 5/23 is 6,573 by 150 feet (2,003 x 46 m) and 9/27 is 3,998 by 100 feet (1,219 x 30 m).

In the 1960s, the Adirondack Airport had three runways. Runway 16/34 was 4,000 feet (1,200 m) long and 100 feet (30 m) wide, but was abandoned sometime between the mid 1970s and early 1980s. The main runway was lengthened from approximately 5,000 feet (1,500 m) to its present length during the early 1970s or thereabouts and an instrument landing system and approach lighting system was installed on the southwest-facing runway 23. Also, a parallel taxiway was added to almost the full length of runway 9-27 and a partial parallel taxiway was added between the abandoned northwest-southeast runway - part of which was converted into a taxiway and the approach end of runway 23.

For the 12-month period ending August 1, 2011, the airport had 6,930 aircraft operations, an average of 18 per day: 65% general aviation, 34% air taxi, and 1% military. At that time there were 17 aircraft based at this airport: 77% single-engine, 18% helicopter, and 6% ultralight.
