Beaufort County Airport (IATA: BFT, ICAO: KARW, FAA LID: ARW, formerly 73J) is a county owned, public use airport in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States.[1] The airport is located on Lady's Island,[2] three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Beaufort, South Carolina.[1] It is also known as Frogmore Island Airport or Frogmore Intranational Airport.[3]

This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[4]
