Roy Sieger, Flagler County Airport's Director, was recently selected by the Federal Aviation Administration as the 2012 Southern Region General Aviation Manager of the Year from a pool of over 750 public use airport directors. This award was established by the FAA to recognize airport managers who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in promoting civil aviation. According to the FAA, Mr Sieger's leadership was responsible for completing significant projects for which he sought and coordinated $6 million in grants that improved efficiency and safety at the Airport, as well as enhancing the economic contribution the Airport makes to the surrounding community. Some of the projects completed in 2012 include the construction of 20 new T-hangar units, the rehabilitation of the Airport parking ramp, installation of a new Automated Weather Observation Station system, and construction of a new south access road.

Airport Details

The Flagler County Airport is a county-owned, public use, general aviation (GA) airport that is operated and maintained under the direction of the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners. The airport’s operation and maintenance are the responsibility of the airport director and his staff. The airport primarily serves corporate aviation and general aviation activity. There are no scheduled airlines providing service at the airport.

Facilities
The airfield consists of two 5,000-foot-long runways and a 3,000-foot water runway. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data, the Airport is the busiest General Aviation airport with a Contract Air Traffic Control Tower in the state of Florida. Of the 247 Contract towers in the nation, this airport ranks second in the number of operations. It was this high amount of air traffic that led to the construction of an air traffic control tower, which went operational in October 2009.

The Airport  Director would like to remind you that the Flagler County Airport is situated amidst several neighborhoods. Keep this in mind when utilizing our facility, which will help us continue to be a good neighbor.
