Princeton Airport (PCT)

Princeton Airport (PCT), designated by the FAA as 39N, is a premier privately-owned, public-use general aviation facility located in Montgomery Township, approximately 3 miles north of Princeton, New Jersey. The airport features a dedicated main terminal building that serves as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and the historic Princeton Flying School. It acts as a vital infrastructure link for Central New Jersey, offering a professional environment for travelers and crews transitioning between Philadelphia and New York City. The terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities for pilots and passengers, including a comfortable lounge with relaxed seating, a dedicated flight planning room, and administrative offices managed by Princeton Aero Corp. While the building does not house commercial retail or full-service restaurants, it offers essential restroom facilities and free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the complex. The facility is typically attended daily from 8:00 AM until dusk, providing specialized FBO services including ground handling and concierge assistance for transient aircraft. Technical services at the field are comprehensive, featuring full-service and rapid refueling for both 100LL Avgas and Jet A with Prist. The airport features a single 3,499-foot asphalt runway (10/28) equipped with pilot-controlled lighting and modern RNAV (GPS) instrument approaches. Due to its location in a noise-sensitive area, the facility maintains strict voluntary noise abatement procedures, and jet operators are encouraged to coordinate with airport management prior to arrival. Ground transportation is well-supported by on-site rental car coordination and local taxi services via the primary Route 206 access point.
