The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025 categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport.[4] DuBois Regional is a refueling stop for many aircraft due to its proximity to Interstate 80 and several air routes, as well as its on-field restaurant.[5]


History


In the early 1950s the City of DuBois created a Municipal Airport Authority which looked into expanding DuBois City Airport, in the Oklahoma section east of the city. They determined that site was unsuitable for expansion and joined with Jefferson County to procure the present site, 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of DuBois. The first flight was made on June 1, 1960 by Allegheny Airlines (Allegheny Commuter replaced Allegheny in 1969). The runway was 4700 feet; in the 1960s and 1970s radio navigational aids were added, including a non-directional beacon, and finally an Instrument Landing System (ILS) for runway 25.

Brockway Glass Corporation, headquartered in nearby Brockway, built a hangar for their aircraft (and later a commuter airline service), and Fixed-Base Operator Beechwoods Flying Service built general aviation "T hangars", fuel pumps and maintenance hangars. The FAA opened a Flight Service Station in 1963 to provide weather and advisory service to pilots; the area is noted for rapidly changing and severe weather. In the 1970s the FAA built a regional radio navigational maintenance facility on the field.

In 1988 Brockway Glass was taken over by Owens-Illinois and its assets were liquidated, including the Crown Airways commuter airline. The Flight Service Station closed in 1990 during FSS consolidation, and its functions were assumed by the Altoona FSS.

Since 1991 the airport complex has continued to expand and renovate facilities. It was designated a Foreign Trade Zone in 2001. A better access road, part of Pennsylvania Route 830, was completed in 2007.[6]


Facilities


The airport covers 399 acres (161 ha) at an elevation of 1,817 feet (554 m) above sea level. Its single runway, 7/25, is 5,503 by 100 feet (1,677 x 30 m).[1]

In the year ending April 19, 2021, the airport had 6,539 aircraft operations, an average of 18 per day: 67% air taxi, 32% general aviation and less than 1% military. In April 2022, there were 10 aircraft based at this airport: 9 single-engine and 1 multi-engine.[1]
