Bessemer Airport (ICAO: KEKY, FAA LID: EKY, formerly 2A3) is a city-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Bessemer, a city in Jefferson County, Alabama, United States. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a reliever airport for the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned EKY by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA. On Jan, 2025 Bessemer Municipal Airport (EKY) was reclassified as a National Airport, signifying a significant milestone in its role within the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). This reclassification enhances the airport’s capacity to accommodate larger aircraft and increased air traffic, further supporting regional and national aviation infrastructure.
