About Franklin County Airport
Franklin County Airport is a small public general aviation airport serving Sewanee, Franklin County, and the surrounding Cumberland Plateau region of Tennessee. Opened in November 1954, it supports private and university-related flying and is closely associated with the University of the South.
The airport covers about 70 acres and operates a single asphalt runway, Runway 7/25, measuring 3,700 by 50 feet. Located at an elevation of roughly 1,953 feet, it has no control tower and handles general aviation activity rather than scheduled commercial service.
Situated about one mile east of central Sewanee, the airport provides convenient access to the university campus and nearby towns such as Monteagle and Winchester. Interstate 24 lies a short distance away, linking the area to Chattanooga to the southeast and Nashville to the northwest.
Facilities include 100LL aviation fuel, hangars, tiedown parking, and minor airframe and powerplant service. Pilots use the CTAF/UNICOM frequency 122.8, and the airport functions as a practical general aviation gateway for visitors, university travel, and private aircraft in the region.
