Bradford Regional Airport

Bradford Regional Airport operates under the code BFD in Bradford, a city in McKean County, Pennsylvania, near the state's border with New York. The field rises to 2,143 feet, well up in the Allegheny Plateau terrain that defines this part of northern Pennsylvania, and two runways handle its regional traffic.

BFD provides commercial and general aviation access to this rural corner of the state, where mountainous terrain makes highway travel to larger airports considerably slower than a direct flight.
