Pennridge Airport (ICAO: KCKZ, FAA LID: CKZ, formerly N70) is a public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) north of the central business district of Perkasie in East Rockhill Township, Pennsylvania, United States.[1] It is privately owned by Pennridge Development Ent., Inc.[1]

The airport is located on top of a ridge and is surrounded on every side by trees. Although the daily operations are under 100 takeoffs and landings, it is the largest privately-owned airport north of Philadelphia and south of Allentown.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Pennridge Airport is assigned CKZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA,[3] which assigned CKZ to Çanakkale Airport in Çanakkale, Turkey.[4]
