Airport guide

KPKB is the main general aviation airport for the Mid-Ohio Valley, a stretch of the Ohio River that includes significant chemical, manufacturing, and energy sector employers. Most private traffic here is business travel, not leisure. The airport has a single runway and FBO services on field.

Parkersburg sits at the confluence of the Ohio and Little Kanawha rivers, on the West Virginia side of the Ohio border. The surrounding region includes operations tied to Olin, Dupont legacy facilities, and energy sector activity, which drives most of the charter demand. If your trip is business-related to this corridor, KPKB puts you within a short drive of most major employers without routing through Columbus or Pittsburgh.

No slot requirements. No known noise curfews. The airport handles general aviation and some regional traffic without the congestion you'd encounter at larger hubs.

Getting there

Downtown Parkersburg is about 5 miles from the airport, roughly 10 minutes by car. Williamstown, directly across the Little Kanawha, is minutes away. Charleston, the state capital, is about 90 miles southeast via I-77, typically an hour and a half. Columbus is roughly 175 miles and 2.5 to 3 hours northwest on I-77 and I-70. Rental cars are available on the field. For car service, arrange in advance as local sedan and SUV options are limited compared to larger markets.
