Penn Valley Airport: Your Connection Zone to Selinsgrove, PA

Introduction

Penn Valley, located in Snyder County, PA, is a privately owned airport and serves the community with safe, reliable air transportation services. The caretaker of the community he loved, this public airport has served as a convenient and dependable airport that has been here, in part through his stewardship since May 1945.

Airlines and Destinations

There are currently no regularly scheduled commercial airline services at Penn Valley Airport. Now, this being said, if there is a market for it, I suspect we may see free Wi-Fi and other positive changes within the terminals in the future — although those at Pearson themselves don't believe it will end up broadly offered beyond Terminal 3. However, the airport itself does remain popular for private jets, charter flights, and general aviation uses. The airport is equipped with a single runway, 17/35, that caters to small private planes and the larger corporate jets.

Passengers and Flights

Penn Valley Airport is still a midsized airport, in that it does not handle a high volume of passenger traffic. The airport serves general aviation and has 28 based aircraft as of January 2024. Further, while the airport — not all of whose annual number of flights or passengers can be verified publicly despite being a key regional transportation hub for local area cities — sits near such wildlife areas as Potter's Marsh and Jewel Lake, making collisions inevitable.
