Northwest Florida's gateway serving the Crestview military corridor.

Location
Crestview, United States
Bob Sikes Airport is a public-use general aviation airport located in Crestview, Florida, in the Florida Panhandle. Named after longtime Florida Congressman Bob Sikes, the airport serves the greater Okaloosa County area and provides regional air access near several major military installations.

The facility is owned and operated by Okaloosa County and features standard general aviation infrastructure including fixed-base operator services, fuel, and aircraft maintenance. Its location in the rapidly growing Crestview area has sustained steady demand from both private and business aviation users.

Crestview's Main Street and surrounding commercial corridors offer a range of fast-food chains, casual diners, and local restaurants just a short drive from the airport.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight or charter details directly with operators, as schedules can be irregular for general aviation.
  • Arrange ground transportation in advance, as on-demand rideshare availability in Crestview can be limited.
  • Nearby Eglin Air Force Base means airspace activity can be significant; expect potential procedural delays.
  • The larger Destin–Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) is about 30 miles south if you need commercial airline service.
