Distance & flight time from BFP
Beaver County Airport
Beaver County Airport, coded BFP, serves Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, a small city in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area's outer reaches. The airport rests at 1,253 feet in elevation and relies on a single runway, functioning mainly as a general aviation field for surrounding western Pennsylvania communities. Beaver County itself sits along the Ohio River northwest of Pittsburgh, historically tied to steel manufacturing along with the broader regional industrial economy. Most commercial travelers in this part of the state fly through Pittsburgh International Airport instead, leaving BFP to handle private aircraft, flight training, and local business aviation. The airport's proximity to Pittsburgh keeps it within easy reach for pilots based in the area without needing to compete for space at the larger regional hub.
