The Picnkeyville/Du Quoin Airport (ICAO: KPJY, FAA: PJY) is a civil, public use airport located 6 miles southeast of Pinckneyville and about 9 miles west of Du Quoin, Illinois, United States. The airport is publicly owned by the two cities.[1]
The airport received $100,000 from the State of Illinois as part of the Rebuild Illinois program during the COVID-19 pandemic. The money went toward buying snow removal equipment.[2]
The airport has one runway: runway 18/36 is 3999 x 60 ft (1219 x 18 m) and made of asphalt.[1][3][4][5]
For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2021, the airport averaged 22 aircraft operations per day, or about 8,000 per year, consisting entirely of general aviation operations. For the same time period, there were 17 aircraft on the field, all single-engine airplanes.[3][5]
The airport is served by an fixed-base operator called Sparta Aero Services. It offers fuel, aircraft hangars and parking, a conference room, and pilot lounges.[4][6]
