Southern West Virginia Regional Airport (ICAO: KEBD, FAA LID: EBD), formerly known as Appalachian Regional Airport,[2] is a public use airport located eight nautical miles (9 mi, 15 km) east of the central business district of Williamson, a city in Mingo County, West Virginia, United States. It is owned by the Mingo County Airport Authority.[1] The airport was built on a reclaimed mine site near Varney, West Virginia,[3] and opened in 2012.[4][5]
This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[6] Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned EBD by the FAA,[1] but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned EBD to El Obeid Airport in El Obeid, Sudan).[7][8]
Southern West Virginia Regional Airport covers an area of 400 acres (162 ha) at an elevation of 1,883 feet (574 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 8/26 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,001 by 75 feet (1,524 x 23 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending August 27, 2020, the airport had 150 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 13 per month.[1]
