Watertown International Airport (IATA: ART[3], ICAO: KART, FAALID: ART) is in the Town of Hounsfield in Jefferson County, New York, United States,[1] 6 mi (5.2 nmi; 9.7 km) west of Watertown. The airport is used for general aviation, but has scheduled passenger service subsidized by the Essential Air Service program. The airport has no scheduled international passenger flights, but is available as an international port of entry for private aircraft on two hours' advance notice from pilots.
The city of Watertown bought the land in 1927 and the Airport was opened in 1929.[8]
Facilitiesedit
The airport covers 1,060 acres (430 ha) at an elevation of 330 feet (100 m).
It has two asphalt runways:
Runway 10/28 is 7,001 ft × 150 ft (2,134 m × 46 m)[1]
Runway 7/25 is 4,999 ft × 150 ft (1,524 m × 46 m)[1]
Runway 10/28 was extended from 5,000 ft (1,500 m) length to 5,999 ft (1,828 m) as an interim extension and was lengthened again to 7,001 ft (2.134 km) opening to that length in July 2016. The airport has an instrument landing system and a medium-intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights on the shorter runway 7.[1]
In the 12-month period ending June 30, 2022, the airport had 49,786 aircraft operations, average 136 per day: 66% general aviation, 29% military, 3% airline, and 2% air taxi. In December 2022, 35 aircraft were based at this airport: 24 single-engine, 8 multi-engine, 1 jet, and 2 helicopter.[1]

Watertown International Airport's first scheduled jet service is operated by American Eagle Airlines, which flies 44 passenger Embraer ERJ 145 regional jets. Service was initially planned to begin in June 2011, however an environmental impact assessment had to first be completed to ensure that neither residents of nearby Dexter nor others has the new service. Additionally, renovation work of baggage systems and passenger waiting areas was necessary to accommodate the new service, which cost nearly one million dollars.[9] Service began November 17, 2011.[10]
