Knox County Regional Airport (RKD)

Knox County Regional Airport, located in Owls Head, Maine, was officially turned over to Knox County in December 1968 and has since undergone significant development, including runway expansions and the installation of an instrument landing system for improved safety in inclement weather. The airport features a new environmentally friendly terminal and has been upgraded primarily through federal grants and state contributions, ensuring its operational sustainability.

Since 2020, user fees have fully funded the local share of capital improvements, reflecting a shift towards self-sustainability in airport operations. The airport serves as a vital transportation hub for the region, supporting both local and visiting pilots with various services and facilities.
