Ponca City Regional Airport (IATA: PNC, ICAO: KPNC, FAA LID: PNC) is a city-owned, public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of the central business district of Ponca City, in Kay County, Oklahoma, United States. It is mostly used for general aviation. Enrique's is a well known Mexican restaurant located in the terminal.

Scheduled passenger flights on Great Lakes Airlines to Denver and Dodge City were discontinued in August, 2006. The service was subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

History

The airport was opened during November 1938 with a single 3,600' concrete runway. In the summer of 1941, the facility was taken over by the United States Army Air Force and was used initially as part of the British Flying Training School program. This training was performed as part of the Lend-Lease act where Royal Air Force (RAF) flying cadets were provided a 20-week basic flying course taught by civil contractors. Flight training was provided by the Darr School of Aeronautics, Fairchild PT-19s were the primary trainer at the airfield. Also had several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks assigned.

In November 1942, RAF training ended at Miami and the airfield became a primary (stage 1) pilot training airfield assigned to AAF Flying Training Command, Gulf Coast Training Center (later Central Flying Training Command). The civil instructors were retained under USAAF control by the 323d Flying Training Detachment.

Pilot training at the airfield apparently ended on 30 May 1944, with the reduced demand for new pilots. The airfield was then returned to the local government at the end of the war.
