York Airport (THV)

York Airport (KTHV) is a privately owned, public-use airport operated by York Aviation, located seven nautical miles southwest of York's central business district in the Thomasville section of Jackson Township, York County, Pennsylvania. The airport covers 66 acres at an elevation of 495 feet above mean sea level and is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems as a general aviation facility. As a privately operated public-use airport, it serves the greater York metropolitan area with essential aviation services for business and recreational flying. The airport features a single asphalt runway designated 17/35, measuring 5,188 feet long by 100 feet wide (1,581 x 30 meters). The runway is equipped with medium intensity runway edge lighting and has a weight bearing capacity of 20,000 pounds for single wheel, dual wheel, and dual tandem wheel landing gear configurations. This specification accommodates a wide range of general aviation aircraft, from light single-engine planes to medium-sized business jets and twin-engine aircraft. York Aviation operates as the airport's fixed-base operator (FBO), providing comprehensive general aviation services including aircraft fueling, maintenance, and pilot amenities. The airport facilities include ramp tie-down areas, a dedicated medical evacuation parking pad, and taxiway infrastructure connecting to the main runway. However, pilots should note that the taxiway to runway 35 is restricted to aircraft with wingspans of 60 feet or less due to clearance limitations. The airport serves as an important regional aviation hub for south-central Pennsylvania, providing convenient access to the York area for business travelers, flight training operations, and recreational flying. Located at coordinates N39°55.02' / W76°52.38', the facility's strategic position offers pilots easy access to the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area while serving the local community's aviation needs. The airport's private ownership and operation model ensures dedicated management focused on maintaining high service standards for the general aviation community.
