Akron Fulton International Airport (IATA: AKCICAO: KAKRFAA LID: AKR) is a general aviation airport located in Akron, a city in Summit County, Ohio, United States. It is owned by the City of Akron.[1] This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015[2] which categorized it as a general aviation facility.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Akron Fulton is assigned AKR by the FAA and AKC by the IATA (which assigned AKR to Akure, Nigeria).[3][4]

History

Named for longtime manager Bain Ecarius "Shorty" Fulton and his son Bain J. "Bud" Fulton,[5][6] it first opened in 1929 and has operated in several different capacities since then. Although the airport has only served general aviation for many years, it does technically have United States Customs facilities, and is therefore considered an international airport. The airport did have commercial scheduled airline service until the 1950s. It is now used for both cargo and private planes.

In 1985, the Akron Fulton Airport was recognized as the 3rd National Landmark of Soaring by the National Soaring Museum.[7]

For the 12-month period ending August 26, 2010, the airport had 26,000 aircraft operations, an average of 71 per day: 99% general aviation, 1% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 74 aircraft based at this airport: 89% single-engine, 8% multi-engine, 1% jet and 1% helicopter.[1]

The airport is supported by the local FBO (fixed base operator) Akron Flight which fuels and hangars aircraft. Akron Flight opened it doors in 2000. North Coast Air Care is based at the Akron Flight facility since May of 2000. It maintains the general aviation community in performing inspections, maintenance and repairs to all aircraft from small Cessnas to corporate jets. Steiner International also opened it doors at the facility the same time that North Coast Air Care moved in. They perform avionics repairs, upgrades and installations.
