About Oakland County International Airport
Oakland County International Airport (IATA: PTK, ICAO: KPTK, FAA LID: PTK) is a county-owned public-use airport located in Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan, United States. The airport is located approximately one mile from the center of Waterford Township and Oakland County. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a non primary commercial service facility.
It is the sixth-busiest airport in the United States without scheduled passenger service. Charters carrying sports teams competing at the now-defunct Palace of Auburn Hills nearby frequently used the airport. The airport was originally called Pontiac Municipal Airport when it opened in 1928 and became Oakland-Pontiac Airport later before adopting its current name.
The airport holds an open house every year, showing aircraft based at PTK, military aircraft, and vintage aircraft. The Civil Air Patrol acts as security for the open house.
