About Lake Cumberland Regional Airport
Lake Cumberland Regional Airport (IATA: SME, ICAO: KSME, FAA LID: SME) is a public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) south of the central business district of Somerset, a city in Pulaski County, Kentucky, United States. The airport is owned by the city of Somerset and Pulaski County. It also serves the area around Lake Cumberland. It is mostly used for general aviation, and from late 2008 until February 2010, was served by one commercial airline, Locair.
