Carbon County Regional Airport / Buck Davis Field (PUC)

Carbon County Regional Airport (PUC), also known as Buck Davis Field, is a primary general aviation and corporate hub serving the 'Carbon Corridor' of eastern Utah, located approximately 3 miles east of the city of Price. The airport operates from a functional passenger terminal and administration building that serves as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and the Utah State University-Eastern aviation program. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, providing a professional base for flight operations and technical training situated at an elevation of 5,958 feet within the scenic Price River valley. The terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities for travelers and flight crews, including a comfortable pilot lounge and a dedicated waiting lobby equipped with free high-speed Wi-Fi. A major feature of the airfield campus is the newly completed 2025 aviation center and maintenance hangar, which supports expanded pilot certification and unmanned aerial systems (drone) programs for USU-Eastern. While the building lacks a full-service restaurant on-site, its compact and high-efficiency layout ensures a professional environment for both local students and transient business travelers exploring the region's diverse industrial and energy sectors. Technical services at the field are comprehensive, managed by the on-site FBO, Aggie Aviation Services, which provides 24-hour self-service fueling for 100LL Avgas and Jet A fuel. The airport features a substantial 8,316-foot primary asphalt runway (01/19) equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS), making it capable of handling a wide variety of business jets even in challenging mountain weather. Ground transportation is well-supported by pre-arranged rental services and local taxi links, providing a quick 10-minute connection to the city's main districts and the world-renowned Nine Mile Canyon archaeological sites.
