Palatka Municipal Airport Lt. Jasper Kennedy "Kay" Larkin
Field (28J)
Palatka Municipal Airport is an ideal inland location for any industry and business looking to relocate or start anew. We possess the precious and rare feature of being both “in the market” yet “out of the way”. We are 29 statute miles from the Atlantic coast in northeast Florida and only a 45 minute drive from our surrounding larger urban areas, being just southwest of Jacksonville, east of Gainesville, and northwest of Daytona Beach. All routes in and out directly access the solid infrastructure of State highways and the nearby U.S highways and interstates that compliment our location. We are less than two miles from downtown Palatka, the hub of Putnam County.
