FAQs

What is PDK Air Quality and Noise Study?

The airport is pleased to announce the approval of the BOC award of RFP #22-500632 for Air Quality & Noise Assessment Study at DeKalb Peachtree Airport for an amount not to exceed $1,485,000.00. 

The study will take approximately 12 months to complete.  The Air Quality & Noise Assessment will address air pollutants and noise levels from aircraft operations at the airport to determine if there are any impacts of any kind.  

How is the level of activity at the airport measured? How busy is the airport?

Activity levels at airports are measured by aircraft operations. An operation is defined by the FAA as a takeoff or a landing. So, a "touch and go" conducted by a training aircraft counts as two operations. In terms of takeoffs and landings, the PDK Airport is the second busiest airport in Georgia.

Do you have an airline flight to...?

No. The DeKalb Peachtree Airport does not have scheduled airline flights. We are a reliever airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which is the primary airline airport for the area and the busiest commercial service airport in the world. We do have charter companies that can take you around the world on your schedule. Check our business listings section for contact info.
