Aiken Municipal Airport (IATA: AIK, ICAO: KAIK, FAA LID: AIK) is a city-owned public-use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) north of the central business district of Aiken, a city in Aiken County, South Carolina, United States. The airport serves the general aviation community, with no scheduled commercial airline service. History
The airport was built by the United States Army Air Forces and named Aiken Army Airfield. It opened on 24 December 1942 as a satellite airfield of Morris Army Airfield, North Carolina. It was assigned to Third Air Force, III Tactical Air Command as a group training airfield for reconnaissance units.
The formal activation date of the airfield was 23 June 1943 when the 66th Tactical Reconnaissance Group arrived along with subordinate units of the 97th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron and 19th Liaison squadron. The 118th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron arrived on 29 August 1943.
The airfield was reassigned to First Air Force on 10 January 1944 and the 359th Army Air Force Base Unit was assigned host unit. The airfield became a replacement training airfield for single-engine fighter pilots, training on P-40 Warhawk and P-51 Mustang aircraft, beginning on 19 October 1944. Active flying at the airfield ended on 28 February 1945, and the base was turned over to Air Technical Service Command for disposition on 31 March 1945.
The airfield was turned over to local government authorities afterward and was converted into a civil airport.
