Location
Harrisburg, United States
Capital City Airport (HAR/KCXY) is a public airport located in Fairview Township, York County, Pennsylvania, just across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, the state capital. It is owned and operated by the Capital Region Airport Authority and primarily serves general aviation, charter, and corporate aircraft rather than scheduled commercial airline service. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 347 feet above mean sea level and features two runways. It has historically served as a reliever airport for Harrisburg International Airport (MDT), handling overflow general aviation traffic and providing facilities for business aviation in the greater Harrisburg metro area. Though it once hosted limited commercial service, Capital City Airport today focuses on fixed-base operator (FBO) services, flight training, and private and corporate aviation. Its proximity to the state capitol complex makes it a convenient option for government and business travelers arriving by private aircraft.
