## Description

A single runway, an FBO apron and daily regional-jet service to Charlotte Douglas (CLT) define what Altoona–Blair County Airport (AOO / KAOO) can realistically do for freight. The field sits at Martinsburg, about 23 km south of Altoona, Pennsylvania, and is run by the Blair County Airport Authority; traffic in the year to March 2022 was roughly 23,750 movements, 78% general aviation and 22% air taxi. Cargo handling exists in the sense of baggage and small consignments, but there is no dedicated cargo terminal, no confirmed freighter operation and no on-site customs clearance for international air freight. Shippers in Blair County therefore route air cargo through Pittsburgh International (PIT, roughly 130 km west) or Harrisburg International (MDT, about 160 km east), trucking via Interstate 99 and US 220. Altoona's strength is on the ground rather than in the air: the city grew around the Pennsylvania Railroad and remains a Norfolk Southern mainline and maintenance location, so heavy regional freight moves by rail and road. Charter and air-taxi lift can still be arranged for urgent, low-volume shipments.
