Allegheny County Airport

Allegheny County Airport (KAGC) sits in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, 12 miles south of downtown Pittsburgh. The field handles no scheduled commercial service and a meaningful flow of business aviation for the Pittsburgh corporate community (UPMC, PNC, US Steel, Heinz, PPG Industries, and the growing tech corridor anchored by Carnegie Mellon and Pitt). For Pittsburgh-area private aviation, KAGC is the close-in alternative to KPIT and the typical broker default for charter into the city. The single runway 10/28 is 6,501 feet — comfortable for heavy and most ultra-long-range business jets. Two FBOs (Atlantic Aviation and Voyager Jet Center) handle business movements. Field elevation is 1,253 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are western Pennsylvania winter weather (snow, freezing rain, lake-effect from Lake Erie reaches this far south), summer thunderstorms, and the surrounding Mon Valley terrain. The structural event windows are Steelers home games (the airport sees concentrated NFL bizjet flow Saturday afternoon through Monday morning during the season), Pirates games, the Pittsburgh Marathon, and major Carnegie Mellon / Pitt event windows. Ground time to downtown Pittsburgh via 51 is 15–20 minutes; Heinz Field / Acrisure Stadium is 20.
