About Portage County Regional Airport
Portage County Airport (ICAO: KPOV, FAA LID: POV, formerly 29G), also known as Portage County Regional Airport, is a public use airport in Portage County, Ohio, United States. It is owned by the Portage County Board of Commissioners and located three nautical miles (6 km) north of Ravenna, in Shalersville Township. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.
This airport is assigned a three-letter location identifier of POV by the Federal Aviation Administration, but it does not have an International Air Transport Association (IATA) airport code (the IATA assigned POV to Prešov Airport in Slovakia). The airport's former FAA identifier was 29G.
The airport is used by the National Guard to train helicopter pilots. Private flight instruction also uses the airport, and Kent State University often sends aircraft. Several flying clubs also operate at the airport.
