Henry County Airport (PHT)

Henry County Airport (PHT) is a primary general aviation facility located in northwestern Tennessee, approximately 3 miles northwest of the Paris city center. The airport features a functional passenger terminal building that serves as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and the local Henry County Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. It acts as a vital infrastructure link for the region, providing a professional base for flight operations and administrative support for the local aviation community. The terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities for travelers and flight crews, including a comfortable pilot lounge, a dedicated waiting area with relaxed seating, and a professional conference room for business meetings. Passengers have access to free high-speed Wi-Fi, computerized flight planning kiosks, and clean public restroom facilities equipped with showers. While the building lacks a full-service restaurant, travelers can find on-site vending machines for snacks and refreshments, with diverse dining options located just a short drive away in downtown Paris. Technical services at the field are comprehensive, featuring 24-hour self-service fueling for both 100LL Avgas and Jet A via a secure credit card system. The airport features a single 5,001-foot asphalt runway (02/20) equipped with GPS/WAAS precision approaches and serving as a critical base for 'AirEvac' and Vanderbilt Medical Center emergency transport. Ground transportation is well-supported by an on-site courtesy car available for short-term pilot use and pre-arranged rental services, providing a quick 10-minute link to the city's main districts and regional commerce centers.
