Chester Catawba Regional Airport (ICAO: KDCM, FAA LID: DCM, formerly 9A6) is a county-owned public-use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) north of the central business district of Chester, a city in Chester County, South Carolina, United States.[1] The airport is technically a "regional" airport, but the airport does not have a scheduled air service; it is mainly for the use of private jets for residents of Chester County. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a general aviation facility.[2]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned DCM by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned DCM to Mazamet Airport in Castres, France[4]).
