Best Car Rental Deals at State College Airport (SCE) - Search for a Car Rental At RentACarNow.com

It may seem odd for a university to be so large that it needs its own airport, but indeed, the city of State College, which is home to the mammoth Pennsylvania State University has its own airport in nearby University Park. The airport’s roots in the town of State College, Pennsylvania, explain its IATA call sign of SCE, but today, the airport is known as University Park Airport. Pennsylvania State University, often referred to as Penn State, has such a strong presence in this region of the state of Pennsylvania, which is often referred to as Happy Valley, that the University actually owns the land on which the airport sits, making it the owner of University Park Airport.

University Park Airport has a history that dates back to the 1950s, when those in the area with private planes began flying on and off land owned by Pennsylvania State University. The current passenger terminal was constructed back in 1993, but it has only been in 2011 that University Park Airport has had its own air traffic control tower. In fact, prior to the debut of the air traffic control tower, University Park Airport did not have an air traffic control tower for its one runway and so was often cited as the country’s busiest airport without one. Even though the University Park Airport is on the smaller side, it still offers a number of amenities for its commercial passengers, including Avis, National and Hertz rental car counters.
