Appalachian Regional Airport (ICAO: KEBD, FAA LID: EBD) 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,[2] and opened in 2012.[3][4]

This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[5] 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).[6][7]

Facilities and aircraft[]

Appalachian 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 June 30, 2012, the airport had 200 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 16 per month.[1]
