## Description

A 4,544-foot main runway sets the ceiling at Elkins-Randolph County Regional Airport (IATA: EKN, ICAO: KEKN): long enough for business turboprops and light jets, far too short for freighter aircraft. Officially Jennings Randolph Field, the West Virginia airport sits at 1,987 feet in the Allegheny Mountains, is classified as a general aviation facility in the FAA's NPIAS and recorded just 12 passenger enplanements in 2024. The airport authority runs the FBO itself, providing fuel and ramp handling; there is no cargo terminal, no freight carrier and no belly capacity from scheduled services. Shippers in Randolph County move their air freight by truck to Pittsburgh International (IATA: PIT), about 155 miles north-west, or to Washington Dulles (IATA: IAD), roughly 185 miles east. The drive follows the winding US-33, US-219 and US-250 across the mountains and adds real time to transit, and the field has no rail siding; a CBP customs presence on site is not confirmed. The staged build-out of Appalachian Corridor H (US 48) is intended to give Elkins a four-lane link toward Interstate 79 and Virginia, shortening road times to the larger freight gateways.
