Athens-Ben Epps Airport (IATA: AHN, ICAO: KAHN, FAA LID: AHN) is a county-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) east of the central business district of Athens, in Clarke County, Georgia, United States. It is mostly used for general aviation. The airport is named after Ben T. Epps, the first aviator in the state of Georgia, who opened the airport in 1917.
Until May 23, 2008, the airport was served by twice-daily flights to Charlotte on Air Midwest operating as US Airways Express. It is now served by daily flights to Atlanta and Macon by GeorgiaSkies. Wings Air covered the same routes but closed after only a few months in business. Wings Air added a check-in counter in the western end of the terminal, and it is now vacant. GeorgiaSkies took over the USAirways Express counter and security area.
