About Chandler Municipal Airport
Chandler Municipal Airport (ICAO: KCHD, FAA LID: CHD) is in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States, 3 miles (2.6 nmi; 4.8 km) southeast of Chandler, which owns it. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport.
Chandler Municipal is one of the nation’s 50 busiest general aviation airports. It adds to Arizona's economy by bringing in more than $53 million annually. No airlines operate out of Chandler and none plan to in the near future.
Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Chandler Municipal is CHD to the FAA and has no IATA code (IATA had assigned CHD to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in nearby Mesa, Arizona – since redesignated by the IATA as AZA).
