Dutchess County Airport (IATA: POU, ICAO: KPOU) is a public airport located in Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County, New York, serving the greater Poughkeepsie metropolitan area in the Hudson Valley region. It is owned and operated by Dutchess County and primarily serves general aviation traffic, corporate aircraft, and charter operations. The airport features two runways and provides facilities for flight training, aircraft storage, and fixed-base operators. While it has historically seen limited scheduled commercial service, it functions mainly as a reliever airport for the New York metropolitan area's congested airspace and as a hub for regional business aviation. Situated approximately 75 miles north of New York City, the airport benefits from its location near IBM's historic headquarters in Armonk and other major Hudson Valley employers, which have historically generated corporate flight activity.
