St Clair County Airport (PLR)

St. Clair County Airport (PLR), also known as Hugghins Field, is a premier general aviation and reliever facility serving the central Alabama region, located approximately 3 miles southeast of downtown Pell City. The airport features a modern passenger terminal and Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) complex managed by the St. Clair County Airport Authority, designed to provide high-quality services for corporate jets, private pilots, and recreational flyers. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, situated near the scenic Logan Martin Lake and the I-20 industrial corridor. The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities across its unified layout, featuring a comfortable pilot lounge with relaxed seating, clean public restroom facilities, and a spacious observation pavilion that overlooks the main aircraft apron. A unique and highly popular on-site feature is 'Sammie’s Touch-n-Go' restaurant, located at the north end of the airfield, which serves local Southern breakfast and lunch favorites and is a frequent destination for 'hundred-dollar hamburger' flights. Travelers have access to free high-speed Wi-Fi, specialized weather briefing stations, and professional concierge assistance for local lodging and dining needs. Ground transportation at PLR is well-supported by a complimentary courtesy 'crew car' program for transient pilots, providing a quick 5-minute link to the city center and regional commerce districts. Several major car rental agencies can also be coordinated for vehicle delivery directly to the terminal ramp. Technical services are comprehensive, featuring 24-hour self-service 100LL Avgas fueling and full-service Jet A fuel during standard business hours, alongside specialized on-field aircraft maintenance provided by Gilmer Aviation and Holder Aviation.
