✈️Agenda PJ's

Private aviation is often a window into the movement of business, industry, and investment in a community. Beginning this week, York County Agenda will take a closer look at the activity happening at Rock Hill/York County Airport (KUZA) through Agenda PJ's (private jets), a weekly feature highlighting notable aircraft movements and visitors to the airport.

Each week, Agenda PJ's will track selected arrivals and departures, focusing on business jets, corporate turboprops, medical and government aircraft, and other interesting visitors from outside the region. The goal is not to list every aircraft movement, but to highlight the flights that provide insight into how the airport is being used by businesses, organizations, and visitors traveling throughout the Carolinas and beyond.

Rock Hill/York County Airport handles thousands of aircraft movements each year, including flight training, recreational flying, and local aviation activity. The airport also experiences significant increases during major regional events. When the Adidas basketball tournaments come to the Rock Hill area, the airport often sees one of its busiest stretches of the year, with multiple private and charter aircraft arriving as college basketball coaches and recruiting staffs from across the country travel to evaluate some of the nation's top high school and youth basketball talent competing in the tournaments.

The airport's role in the region is also expected to grow through aviation education. Winthrop University plans to launch a Bachelor of Science in Aviation & Business Management program with a targeted Fall 2027 start, pending final FAA review. The program, delivered in partnership with ACES Flight School, will combine business coursework with FAA Part 141 flight training labs at Rock Hill/York County Airport, creating another connection between the airport, higher education, and the region's future workforce.

Agenda PJ's will focus on the aircraft and trips that stand out — from a Citation Excel arriving from a major business destination to a Pilatus PC-12 connecting York County with another market. As with our other recurring features, the goal is to provide a look at something happening in York County that many residents may not see — the activity taking place above the runway and the role the airport plays in the region's economy.

Weekly Summary

Rock Hill/York County Airport saw a varied week of business aviation, highlighted by a NetJets Citation Longitude, a Falcon 900EX, several Citation and Phenom jets and a steady stream of Pilatus PC-12 turboprops.

One of the week's standout visitors was a NetJets Citation Longitude operating as EJA840, which arrived Friday evening from Houston Executive Airport in Texas. The large business jet remained at Rock Hill through Saturday before departing Sunday morning for Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.

The Charlotte-registered Dassault Falcon 900EX N70FK was another significant visitor, returning Wednesday from Spirit of St. Louis Airport after a multi-day trip. Pilatus PC-12s were particularly prevalent throughout the period, connecting Rock Hill with destinations ranging from Maryland and Florida to Minnesota, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Monday and Tuesday brought another strong group of business jets. Citation Excel N936EA arrived Monday from Lynchburg and departed for the Denver area, while Phenom 100 N289RZ arrived from Concord and remained until Wednesday. On Tuesday, Citation CJ3+ N532CJ made two Rock Hill stops while traveling between Wilmington and Reading, Pa., and Fort Mill-connected Citation V N560BL made a morning round trip to the Raleigh area.

Locally connected aviation remained part of the mix as well. Rock Hill-registered Cirrus Vision Jet N749AM departed Sunday for Augusta, while medical helicopter N362AH continued frequent flights between Rock Hill and regional medical facilities.

As usual, the aircraft highlighted in Agenda PJ's represent only a portion of the airport's total activity. Routine flight training, locally based piston aircraft and other general aviation operations account for many additional daily movements.

Because the ForeFlight call sign substitutes for the aircraft's registration, the underlying tail number was not publicly displayed with the flight.

Another PC-12, N864RJ, departed Rock Hill for Barkley Regional Airport in Paducah, Ky. The aircraft is registered to Jim Smith Contracting Company LLC of Grand Rivers, Ky.

Atrium Health medical helicopter N362AH was also active throughout the day, operating between Rock Hill and medical facilities in Charlotte and Rock Hill.
