Ashland Regional Airport (ICAO: KDWU, FAA LID: DWU) is a public use airport in Worthington, Greenup County, Kentucky, owned by the Ashland Regional Airport Board. It is located six nautical miles (11 km) northwest of the central business district of Ashland, a city in Boyd County, Kentucky, United States. Currently, the airport serves local charter and private aircraft. Community events, such as car and air shows, also take place at the airport.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned DWU by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA. History
It opened in 1953 as Ashland-Boyd County Airport and featured a 5,000 ft (1,500 m) runway with a 3,000 ft (910 m) clearance.
The airport was once used extensively by the oil manufacturing company Ashland Inc. before the company's corporate headquarters was moved from Russell to Covington.
