## Description

Crestview sits in the aerospace belt of the Florida Panhandle, just north of Eglin Air Force Base, and Bob Sikes Airport (IATA: CEW, ICAO: KCEW) reflects that: it is an industrial site where aircraft are worked on, not an airport where goods are flown. Owned and run by Okaloosa County, it offers an 8,004-foot runway, with a further 2,000-foot extension planned, and a 290-acre industrial air park where firms such as Crestview Aerospace modify aircraft and helicopters for the military and for manufacturers. Northwest Florida State College's Aviation Center of Excellence, opened in 2021, trains the workforce alongside it. There are no scheduled or cargo flights, no freight terminal, no cargo handling agent and no customs post. Shippers in the northern Panhandle therefore use Destin-Fort Walton Beach (VPS) and Pensacola (PNS) for belly cargo, and Atlanta (ATL) or Memphis (MEM) for freighter and express volumes, with trucking covering the road feeder leg. The field is named after Bob Sikes, the congressman who secured the region's military bases.
