Call (423) 745-4939 before arrival if you need current service details.

A few published remarks matter on a first visit. Runway 02 has a displaced threshold with a 36 to 1 approach slope to that threshold. Runway 02 and runway 20 both have faded markings. The PAPI on runway 02 is unusable beyond 7 degrees left of centerline. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. The field is closed Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. For clearance delivery, contact Knoxville Approach at 865-980-3034. If that does not work, use 865-980-3033. Athens is not a towered field. Plan your arrival with the current Chart Supplement and be ready for local traffic on CTAF.
