Twenty-five planes, including one seaplane, are housed at Pittsfield's airport. Between 1940 and 1942, some terminal-area facilities were constructed. The U.S. Navy used the airport from 1942-44 as a training facility. This service only lasted six months. This created a public seaplane base, giving seaplane pilots access to fuel and maintenance facilities.
Crosswinds are a limiting factor at the airport.
Wind data extrapolated from Bangor International Airport suggest that the orientation of Runway 1-19 could be improved. The Maine Flight Center offers charter flights, flight instruction, aircraft storage, aeronautical chart sales, pilot recreation, and light snacks. The town manager acts as the airport manager, and with the assistant to the town manager, serves on an Airport Committee together with two pilots, one FBO representative, one member of the Town Council, and four citizen advisors. There is no air traffic control tower at the airport. Approach and departure control is provided by the Bangor Flight Service Station, which monitors the common traffic advisory frequency for emergencies.
