Not to be confused with Waterbury Airport (Connecticut).
Waterbury–Oxford Airport (IATA: OXC, ICAO: KOXC, FAA LID: OXC), also known as Oxford Airport, is a public airport located three miles (5 km) north of the central business district of Oxford, a town in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States.
Before 1969 the airport was originally owned by Michael P. Piscitelli a pilot from West Haven who made his hobby of flying a business. As a result, he later acquired the airport in the 1960s and owned a collection of 11 small engine planes. He sold the airport in the late 60's and is now owned by the Connecticut Airport Authority.
It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a national general aviation facility.
In 2009, taxiway Echo was extended to connect to taxiway Alpha. This, and other improvements (such as an earlier project in which runway 18/36 was lengthened) have allowed for some larger aircraft to land at Oxford, although Gulfstream V and Global Express jets are the largest to currently operate at the airport on a regular basis.
Waterbury–Oxford Airport covers an area of 424 acres (172 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (18/36) measuring 5,800 x 100 ft (1,768 x 30 m).
