As per Federal Aviation Administration records, this airport had 738 commercial passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, an increase of 9% from the 678 enplanements in 2007.[2] Pilot Point Airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (2009–2013), which categorizes it as a general aviation facility.[4]
