Common Complaints

Limited Public Transportation Details: While Shamokin Yellow Cab is listed, specific details or recent traveler experiences regarding its reliability or availability for airport transfers are not readily available.
Lack of Commercial Passenger Services: As a non-towered general aviation airport, there are no commercial flights, meaning no security wait times, customs, or immigration services typically associated with larger airports.
Runway Obstructions (Operational Note): An older comment mentions trees/brush 165 feet left of the centerline parallel to Runway 08 from the threshold out to 200 feet, which is an operational consideration for pilots rather than a typical traveler complaint.

Northumberland County Airport appears to be a well-regarded and convenient stop for general aviation pilots, particularly appreciated for its affordable and accessible fuel. Its facilities cater to the needs of aviators, though travelers seeking commercial services or extensive ground transportation options should be aware of its general aviation focus.
