List of airports in Virginia
This is a list of airports in Virginia (a U.S. state), grouped by type and sorted by location. It contains all public-use and military airports in the state. Some private-use and former airports may be included where notable, such as airports that were previously public-use, those with commercial enplanements recorded by the FAA or airports assigned an IATA airport code.
The list includes two airports which serve the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, but are actually located in Virginia: Reagan National and Dulles International. Both airports are operated by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
Airports
This list contains the following information:
- City served – The city generally associated with the airport, as per the airport's master record with the Federal Aviation Administration. This is not always the actual location since some airports are located in smaller towns outside of the city they serve. It is not meant to be a complete list of cities served, which can be found in or added to each airport's Wikipedia article.
- FAA – The location identifier assigned by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- IATA – The airport code assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Those that do not match the FAA code are shown in bold.
