About Oakland County International Airport

Oakland County International Airport is a county-owned, public-use general aviation airport in Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan. Opened in 1928 as Pontiac Municipal Airport, it has grown into one of the region's busiest corporate and private aviation gateways and serves as a reliever to Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

The airport sits about five miles west of Pontiac and roughly 30 miles northwest of downtown Detroit, placing it close to Oakland County's corporate corridor and communities such as Auburn Hills, Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills. It operates three runways, an FAA control tower and a network of fixed-base operators that support private, corporate and charter flights.

Passenger facilities are centered on a LEED Gold-certified general aviation terminal that includes lounges, a restaurant, meeting and banquet space, car rental access and a U.S. Customs area for international arrivals. Ground transportation is primarily by private vehicle, taxi, rideshare, rental car or pre-arranged transfer, with road access via nearby highways.

For business and leisure travelers arriving in southeast Michigan, PTK offers a convenient alternative to the region's large commercial hubs, with ramp access and FBO services designed around private aviation.
