๐บ๐ธ Ada, United States of America
Ada Regional Airport (ADT), with ICAO code KADH, is a public general aviation airport located approximately two miles north of Ada, Oklahoma, USA. Owned and operated by the City of Ada, it serves primarily private aircraft, corporate flights, flight training activities, and is home to aeronautical industries such as General Aviation Modifications, Inc. and Tornado Alley Turbo. Crucially, the airport does not currently host scheduled commercial airlines. The airport features a passenger terminal and lounge, which is part of the services offered by Heartland Aviation, the Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) on site. The FBO building provides essential services for pilots and aircraft, including fueling (100LL and Jet A), aircraft parking (ramp or tiedown), hangars, flight training, aircraft rental, maintenance, and avionics services. For private passengers, amenities typically include comfortable waiting areas within the FBO building. Security procedures at ADT are minimal, consistent with its private general aviation status. Formal TSA security checkpoints are not present. Security protocols focus on maintaining a secure operational environment for aircraft and property. The airport has a federal contract Air Traffic Control Tower, operating during specific hours (Monday-Saturday 8 AM-5 PM, Sunday 12 PM-5 PM). The airport is the only jet-capable airport in Pontotoc County.
**As Ada Regional Airport (ADT) does not host scheduled commercial airlines, there are no commercial flight connections available.** The airport primarily caters to general aviation, private flights, and corporate jet traffic. Any air travel to or from ADT must be arranged via private aircraft or charter services. Historically, the airport had scheduled service from 1950 to 1963, but this is no longer the case.
For commercial travelers seeking air connections, the nearest major commercial airports would be Will Rogers World Airport (OKC) in Oklahoma City or Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in Texas. Both are significant distances from Ada (DFW approximately 1.5-2 hours drive, OKC approximately 1.5 hours drive) and would require ground transportation. Travelers must arrange private transport, taxi, or rideshare services to connect to these commercial hubs, ensuring sufficient travel time to avoid missed connections. Courtesy transportation and cars are available for pilots using the FBO, which may also assist passengers.
Pilots and general aviation users of ADT should note that 100LL and Jet-A fuel are available on-site, with after-hours call-out options available. It is crucial for pilots to check current NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) for the latest information regarding airport conditions and operational changes, and consult official FAA resources and charts for flight planning. For instrument procedures and clearance delivery, pilots should contact Fort Worth ARTCC.
