DuBois Regional Airport (DUJ)

DuBois Regional Airport (KDUJ) serves central Pennsylvania's timber and forest industry region, positioned eight miles northwest of DuBois on 399 acres at 1,816 feet elevation, strategically located near Interstate 80 as a vital refueling stop for aircraft and general aviation hub supporting Pennsylvania's $36 billion forest products economy. Owned and operated by the Clearfield-Jefferson Counties Regional Airport Authority, the facility serves as a non-primary commercial service airport with Southern Airways Express providing Essential Air Service subsidized flights while accommodating extensive general aviation operations in the nation's largest hardwood lumber producing state. The airport features comprehensive general aviation services including an on-field restaurant that attracts transient traffic, fuel services, and aircraft maintenance supporting Pennsylvania's private forestland owners who control 75% of the state's 16.6 million forested acres and supply 80% of timber products worth over $350 million annually in landowner payments. The facility serves forest industry professionals, timber buyers, logging operations, and forest managers operating throughout central Pennsylvania's historically significant timber region where DuBois, Clearfield, and surrounding counties produced 240 million board feet annually during the late 1800s logging boom. Operational services include proximity to major air routes, Interstate 80 corridor accessibility, and support for the regional economy where forest products contribute over $5 billion annually to Pennsylvania's agricultural sector. The airport enables efficient business aviation for timber companies, forest consultants, equipment suppliers, and recreational aviation serving this scenic region of Pennsylvania's extensive hardwood forests, while maintaining essential air service connectivity for the broader Clearfield-Jefferson Counties community in the heart of America's premier hardwood timber production region.
