## Description

Opened in 1931 and once Pittsburgh's main airfield, Allegheny County Airport (AGC/KAGC) today handles no scheduled or dedicated freight traffic and serves instead as the FAA-designated reliever airport for Pittsburgh International, some 11 km southeast of downtown. Ownership sits with the Allegheny County Airport Authority, and the field's daily business is corporate aviation, flight training, aircraft maintenance and air medical transport. Two fixed-base operators provide ramp handling, fuelling and hangarage, but there is no cargo terminal, no freighter apron and no on-site customs post. Shippers should therefore treat AGC as a business-aviation and charter field, where urgent items travel only as accompanied or charter payload rather than as commercial air cargo. Air freight for the Pittsburgh metropolitan area is consolidated at Pittsburgh International (PIT) roughly 30 km to the northwest, with Arnold Palmer Regional (LBE) at Latrobe as a secondary option about 60 km east. Interstate 376 and Interstate 76 give trucking companies fast access from the field to the wider Ohio and West Virginia hinterland.
