Pensacola International Airport

Pensacola International Airport (PNS), opened in the late 1930s, is a single-terminal regional airport with two concourses that serves Northwest Florida and the Emerald Coast. As the main gateway to Pensacola and nearby beaches, PNS is compact and easy to navigate, handling a mix of leisure and business flights with a steady seasonal surge. The airport sits about 5–7 miles from downtown Pensacola with convenient access via I-110 and is served by rental cars, shuttle services, taxis and local bus connections. Fares are generally competitive, with low-cost carriers such as Allegiant complementing American, Delta and Southwest; PNS functions as an affordable regional base rather than a major hub.
