Hattiesburg Laurel Regional Airport
Hattiesburg–Laurel Regional Airport (IATA: PIB, ICAO: KPIB, FAA LID: PIB), nicknamed Airport City, is a public airport located in unincorporated Jones County, Mississippi, United States. The airport is adjacent to Interstate 59, approximately nine nautical miles (10 mi, 17 km) northeast of Hattiesburg and 23 miles southwest of Laurel. It is mostly used for general aviation, but is also served by one commercial airline, United Express. Scheduled passenger service is currently subsidized by the federal Essential Air Service (EAS) program. The runway is long enough to handle Boeing 757s and Boeing 767s chartered by college football teams visiting Hattiesburg to play at the University of Southern Mississippi. The airport's IATA code (PIB) refers to its former name, Pine Belt Regional Airport. Hattiesburg is located halfway between Mississippi's two major airports – Gulfport–Biloxi International Airport in Gulfport and Jackson–Evers International Airport in Jackson. The three cities are linked by the four-lane U.S. Highway 49. As per the Federal Aviation Administration, this airport had 12,576 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 12,972 in 2009, and 13,766 in 2010. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport.
