==History==
In 1935, a passenger terminal opened, and airline service began two years later. Atlantic and Gulf Airlines went out of business a few months later after failing to get an airmail contract. In 1938 [[National Airlines (NA)|National Airlines]] began flights to Mobile and Jacksonville. From 1940 to 1945, the airport was a U.S. Navy training facility; the Navy built a control tower and added a fourth runway. In 1947 [[Eastern Air Lines]] began service out of Pensacola, and in 1952 a modern terminal replaced the original one. The airport was then dedicated to L.C. Hagler, the former mayor of Pensacola. In 1968 Eastern began the first scheduled jet service from Pensacola.

In 1978, after [[Airline Deregulation Act|deregulation]] of the airline industry, several airlines began serving Pensacola, including [[Continental Airlines|Continental]] and [[Delta Air Lines|Delta]]. In 1978 a National Airlines Boeing 727 crashed into Escambia Bay while on approach for landing, the first fatal airline accident in the area. In 1979 [[US Airways]], then called USAir, arrived at Pensacola. In 1990 the current terminal was built and [[AirTran Airways]] began jet service in 2001. In 2005 [[United Express]] began service out of Pensacola. After stopping service to Pensacola in the 1990s, American Airlines (operating as American Eagle) began service again in Pensacola in 2004. Southwest Airlines initiated service to Pensacola in 2013 after purchasing Airtran Airways. Frontier Airlines initiated service at Pensacola in 2018.

Pensacola mayor Ashton Hayward announced on November 9, 2011, that the airport would change its name from Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport to Pensacola Regional Airport, effective immediately.<ref>{{Cite web |date=Nov 9, 2011 |title=Pensacola airport unveils new terminal, new name |url=http://www.flypensacola.com/_files/contents/386/Airport%20Event%20110911.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111125080222/http://www.flypensacola.com/_files/contents/386/Airport%20Event%20110911.pdf |archive-date=Nov 25, 2011 |website=City of Pensacola}}</ref>

==Facilities and aircraft==
Pensacola Regional Airport covers an area of 1,211 [[acre]]s (490 [[hectare|ha]]) at an [[elevation]] of 121 feet (37 m) above [[mean sea level]]. It has two [[runway]]s: 17/35 is 7,004 by 150 feet (2,135 x 46 m) with a concrete surface; 08/26 is 7,000 by 150 feet (2,134 x 46 m) with an asphalt surface.<ref name="FAA" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://skyvector.com/airport/PNS/Pensacola-International-Airport|title=PNS airport data at skyvector.com|website=skyvector|access-date=September 11, 2022}}</ref>

Runway 17 has an [[instrument landing system]] and approach lights, while the Runway 26 approach has a [[localizer]] approach. A 1,000&nbsp;ft. extension to the east end of Runway 08/26 was completed in 2006. The airport hopes to extend Runway 17/35 to about 8,500&nbsp;ft.

The airport's two war-era diagonal runways were decommissioned in the 1960s.

For the 12-month period ending January 31, 2024, the airport had 157,103 aircraft operations, an average of 430 per day: 58% [[general aviation]], 19% [[military aviation|military]], 16% [[airline|commercial]] and 8% [[air taxi]]. At the end of January 2024, there were 172 aircraft based at this airport: 141 single-[[aircraft engine|engine]], 10 multi-engine, 18 [[jet aircraft|jet]], and 3 helicopter.<ref name="FAA" />

==Terminal==
Pensacola has one passenger terminal with 12 gates, built in the early 1990s. Gates 1 through 10 are located on the 2nd floor, while Gates 11 and 12 are located on the ground floor. 
 
Gate assignments:
* American: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
* Delta: 2, 4
* Silver: 11
* Southwest: 10
* United: 1, 3
* Frontier: 6
* Spirit: 8

===Terminal expansion===
The terminal was expanded in 2011 at a cost of $35 million. The expansion was designed by Gresham, Smith, and Partners<ref>{{cite web|url=http://greshamsmith.neteffectservices.com/Projects/Pensacola-International-Airport|title=Neteffectservices.com|website=greshamsmith.neteffectservices.com}}</ref> and Stoa Architects.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stoaarchitects.com/galleries/13-pensacola-gulf-coast-regional-airport|title=Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport – Stoa Architects|access-date=June 4, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120819140154/http://www.stoaarchitects.com/galleries/13-pensacola-gulf-coast-regional-airport|archive-date=August 19, 2012|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=June 6, 2007 |title=Architectural and Engineering Design Services for Pensacola Regional Airport |url=http://flypensacola.com/upload/images/pdfs/AirExpan2007_new.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080216105849/http://flypensacola.com/upload/images/pdfs/AirExpan2007_new.pdf |archive-date=Feb 16, 2008 |website=Gresham, Smith and Partners}}</ref>

In 2022, it was announced that the city of Pensacola was looking into a $70 million concourse and parking expansion that would provide more space to handle the airport's rapid increase in passenger numbers and flights.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kennedy |first=Emma |title=Pensacola airport officials eyeing new concourse, parking expansion to keep up with demand |url=https://www.pnj.com/story/news/local/pensacola/2021/11/15/pensacola-airport-officials-eyeing-expansion-keep-up-demand/8625879002/ |access-date=2022-04-08 |website=Pensacola News Journal |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kennedy |first=Emma |title=Pensacola airport sees 40% increase in flights as planning continues for $70M expansion |url=https://www.pnj.com/story/money/business/2022/04/05/pensacola-airport-sees-40-percent-increase-flights-plans-70-million-concourse/7243608001/ |access-date=2022-04-08 |website=Pensacola News Journal |language=en-US}}</ref>
