Clarksville Regional Airport

What Clarksville Regional Airport does

Clarksville Regional Airport (KCKV) is a public-use general aviation airport located 6 miles northwest of Clarksville, Tennessee, operated as a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Airport Authority. The facility features a 6,000 ft primary runway (17/35) and 4,300 ft secondary runway (05/23) within Class D airspace under Fort Campbell ATC approach control, alongside a $4.85M terminal opened in 2012 and 24/7 self-serve aviation fuel. It serves four primary customer segments: locally based and visiting general aviation pilots, corporate charter travelers, Fort Campbell military operations (101st Airborne Division, 160th SOAR, and U.S. Army Golden Knights), and aspiring pilots enrolled at three on-site flight schools. Revenue-generating activities include Jet-A and 100LL fuel sales via Titan Aviation Fuels, T-hangar and terminal/land leases, on-site aircraft maintenance through T&T Aviation, charter flight coordination with multiple regional operators, concierge and ground transportation referrals, and corporate event-space rentals in two multimedia-equipped conference rooms.

The airport operates a hybrid GTM model combining direct FBO service delivery with a multi-channel partner ecosystem. Pricing is transaction-based for fuel ($6.49-$6.90/gallon), subscription/recurring for hangar and terminal rentals ($435/month T-hangars; $350-$660/month office suites; $0.14/sq ft land leases), and hourly for event space ($20-$90/hour). Community-driven demand generation relies on annual events such as Just Plane Fun Day and Wags & Wings Family Fun Fest (presented with Fortera Credit Union and the Humane Society), which have drawn 2,500-3,000+ attendees. Marketing channels span community events, PR coverage (e.g., Tennessee Aviation Magazine), website and HoneyBook booking widget, and direct outreach to the Fort Campbell military and Clarksville-Montgomery County School System.

The airport's competitive position is anchored by geographic proximity to Fort Campbell (the largest single employer in the region) and by more than $15.8M in cumulative FAA and TDOT Aeronautics Division grants over five years, which fund ongoing infrastructure modernization including a $11.4M runway resurfacing completed in 2017 and apron reconstructions in 2014-2015. As a publicly governed, non-profit facility, the airport pursues long-term objectives to remain FAA-compliant for 40-50 years and to potentially expand into scheduled commercial airline service. Economic impact studies (TDOT 2021) credit the airport with $33.3M in total annual impact, 182 jobs, and $13M in payroll, though direct airport-operator revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Atlantic Aviation: Large multi-location FBO operator in the U.S. Comparable to Clarksville Regional as a competing FBO for corporate and general aviation customers, though operating a wider network and typically at higher-traffic airports.
• Signature Flight Support: Largest global FBO chain operating at hundreds of airports worldwide, including multiple Tennessee locations. Comparable as a competing FBO service provider offering fuel, hangars, and concierge to the same corporate/private aviation customer base, but with significantly broader scale and brand recognition.
• Nashville International Airport (BNA): Major commercial service airport and the primary aviation hub for the Nashville metro. Comparable as the regional aviation authority airport that Clarksville Regional aspires to complement with scheduled service, and the dominant competitor for any commercial airline entry into the region.
• Million Air: Multi-location U.S. FBO chain serving corporate and private aviation customers. Comparable as an FBO competitor with a similar service mix (fuel, hangars, concierge) but operating across a broader network of airports.

Others

• Middle Tennessee Airport Authority (multiple GA airports): Tennessee Department of Transportation Aeronautics Division oversees 78 system airports statewide. Comparable as the regulatory and grant-funding framework within which Clarksville Regional operates, providing insight into peer governance, funding structures, and regional aviation economics.

Direct peers

• John C. Tune Airport (Nashville): Closest GA airport to downtown Nashville operated as part of the Nashville International Airport system. Comparable as a competing FBO within the Nashville–Clarksville catchment area for corporate and charter aviation customers.
• Smyrna Airport (Smyrna/Rutherford County): Regional GA airport located in the Nashville metro area serving corporate and private aircraft. Most directly comparable to CKV as a competing Tennessee GA airport offering FBO services, fuel, hangars, and charter coordination within driving distance of Clarksville's customer base.
• Murfreesboro Municipal Airport: Tennessee regional GA airport serving Rutherford County and the Nashville metro south. Comparable as a competing general aviation facility offering fuel, hangars, and flight training in the same Tennessee market as Clarksville Regional.

Emerging players

• Fort Campbell Army Airfield: Military airfield adjacent to Clarksville Regional that shares approach control airspace. Comparable as a flight training and operations facility for the same Fort Campbell military units (101st Airborne, 160th SOAR) but focused on military rather than civilian aviation.

Regional players

• Springfield Robertson County Airport: Regional GA airport north of Nashville serving Robertson County. Comparable as a Tennessee GA facility with similar FBO service mix but smaller scale, illustrating the depth of competing regional options in the broader Nashville metro.
