Akron-canton Regional AirportAkron-Canton Regional Airport is an airport located in southern Summit County, Ohio, roughly 15 miles south-southeast of Akron, Ohio, and roughly 10 miles northwest of Canton, Ohio. The airport is jointly operated by Summit County and Stark County. Money for the airport was initially allocated during World War II for defense purposes, but the constrution stalled over a controversy relating to whether public funding of airport construction would be appropriate. As a result, private funding was essential to the initial construction of the airport, particularly in purchasing the land. The airport was dedicated on October 13, 1946, but permanent terminal facilities were not built until 1955. The airport has three runways - 5,600, 6,397 and 7,598 feet long, each 150 feet wide. It has the IATA Airport Code CAK. In 2003, 1.16 million passengers flew through Akron-Canton. Five commercial airlines currently fly into the airport: Frontier Airlines is planning to start service on June 15, 2005 (Frontier Airlines, 2005).
