General Information About Barkley Regional Airport

General Information | Barkley Regional Airport (PAH), also known as PAD, is situated 14 miles west of Paducah and provides service to Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee.

Barkley Regional Airport Authority owns and operates it.

Contour Airlines operates the only flight from Barkley Regional Airport, operating non-stop flights to Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina using Embraer 145s on a 282-mile non-stop route that takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes non-stop and offers round-trip service.

Contour Airlines was recently given approval by the United States Department of Transportation to assume service at Barkley Regional Airport and made their inaugural flight between Paducah and Charlotte on December 6, 2022.

Barkley Regional Airport leaders say this new service marks an exciting step toward its long-term development and predict an increase in passenger volume at their local airport.

Under construction is a new terminal building scheduled to open its doors by spring 2023.

SkyWest Airways, which has long provided service in Paducah area airports, recently announced they would no longer provide air services there. Following discussions amongst airport authority board members, Contour Aviation was unanimously chosen as their replacement air service provider.

Barkley Airlines plans on starting its service between Paducah and Charlotte between October or November, providing more flights than SkyWest could. Travelers in McCracken County who wish to visit Charlotte now have another choice thanks to Barkley. Leaders at Barkley consider this victory for both community members and economy in McCracken County as they see this new option opening up more possibilities for travelers looking for transportation solutions.
