Ingersoll Airport (ICAO: KCTK, FAA LID: CTK) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (2.3 mi, 3.7 km) northwest of the central business district of Canton, a city in Fulton County, Illinois, United States. The airport is owned by the Canton Park District.[1] It is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned CTK by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[3]
The airport received $360,000 as part of the Rebuild Illinois program to help the airport repair and maintain facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
