A billion ways Port City Air is impacting the Seacoast economy Aviation is more than just flights—it’s a powerful economic engine. At Port City Air (PCA), we’re proud to play a key role in driving the Seacoast’s economic growth. As the Fixed Base Operator at Portsmouth International Airport, we do more than fuel and service planes at Pease; we create jobs, support local businesses, and contribute to the region’s thriving economy – in a very big way. PCA’s operations are projected to generate $1.6 billion in economic impact over the next decade, strengthening industries, supporting a projected 705 area jobs, and bringing in $747 million in federal, state and local taxes—with more than half of that tax revenue staying in our local communities. PCA’s efforts, complemented by the Pease Development Authority’s infrastructural improvements and safety management, are vital to ensuring this growth continues. Beyond aviation, our work fuels local businesses in unexpected ways. When military and general aviation flights pass through Pease, flight crews and passengers often require overnight lodging and meals, boosting demand for regional hotels and restaurants. Over the next decade, PCA is expected to drive more than 28,000 Seacoast hotel room nights per year in the region. Additionally, our aviation catering kitchen can prepare 3,000 meals daily, supporting military personnel and flight crews passing through Pease. In 2024 alone, PCA served more than 65,000 meals as part of our Civil Reserve Air Fleet program, ensuring troops stayed well-fed and mission-ready. As Port City Air continues to grow, we’re committed to creating new opportunities and fueling the Seacoast’s thriving economy. In 2024, our employee base grew by 20%, with new jobs in operations, logistics, and aviation services. As we continue to expand, we remain committed to not just supporting flights, but also fueling the region’s economic future Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow portcityair.com
