About Gettysburg Regional Airport
Gettysburg Regional Airport (IATA: GTY, FAA LID: W05), formerly known as the Gettysburg Airport and Travel Center and as Doersom Airport, is a general aviation airport located two miles (4 km) west of the Gettysburg, in Adams County, Pennsylvania. The airport is situated approximately 38 miles (61 km) south of Harrisburg.
