Franklin County Regional Airport (FAA LID: N68), formerly known as Chambersburg Municipal Airport, is a general aviation airport located three miles (5 km) north of the Borough of Chambersburg, in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, USA. The airport is situated approximately 45 miles southwest of Harrisburg.
In 2004, the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAA) bought Franklin County Regional Airport and formed a Study Advisory Group (SAG) to develop a list of recommended improvements at the airport. Those improvements included: rehabilitation of the runway, taxiway, ramp area and other landside faculties, additional parking, signage, hangars, an automated weather observation station (AWOS) and a fueling service. The improvements will be made on a priority basis and as grant monies become available.
