About Atlanta Regional Airport - Falcon Field

Founded originally as Peachtree City – Falcon Field in 1968 by Joel Cowan, one of the original developers of Peachtree City, the recently renamed Atlanta Regional Airport has grown to become one of Georgia's best facilities! Due to its close proximity to downtown Atlanta, travelers can experience the convenience and ease of access to hotels, restaurants and sporting events. From originally having 60 based aircraft to on the field to approximately 250 aircraft, the Atlanta Regional Airport continues to grow and offer a wide array of aviation related services and facilities. The Airport is owned and operated by the Peachtree City Airport Authority which works closely with the Fayette County Development Authority to promote economic development in the southeastern region. Atlanta Regional Airport is the top economic engine driving commerce and tourism for Fayette County and the surrounding region. The Airport Authority opted to take over airport fueling operations in 1998 and now heads fixed base operations. Today, with its 5,768' runway that can accommodate aircraft up to 60,000 pounds, Atlanta Regional Airport - Falcon Field has become one of the premier airports of the southeast. The airport currently has multiple hangars with plans to add additional hangars in Area "C "and Area "B" as part of an 80 acre development project. Recently installed glideslope guidance added to a new localizer approach provides full Instrument Landing System (ILS). Also planned is a 250' paved runway overrun bringing the total length to approximately 6001 feet.
