Demopolis Municipal Airport[1][2] (ICAO: KDYA, FAA LID: DYA, formerly 7A2) is a city-owned public-use airport located six nautical miles (7 mi, 11 km) southwest of the central business district of Demopolis, a city in Marengo County, Alabama, United States.[1] It is also known as Demopolis Regional Airport[3] and Julian D. "Buzz" Sawyer Airport.[4]

This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015[5] and 2009–2013,[6] both of which categorized it as a general aviation facility.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned DYA by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[7]

History

During World War II the airfield was built by the United States Army Air Force and opened in October 1943. It was assigned to Third Air Force. It was used to train pilots as an axillary airfield to the group and replacement training center at Key Field, Mississippi. With the end of the war in September 1945, activities at Demopolis Army Airfield were diminished. The airfield was returned to civil control in 1946.[8]

Facilities and aircraft

The airport covers an area of 438 acres (177 ha) at an elevation of 112 feet (34 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 4/22 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,002 by 100 feet (1,525 x 30 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending September 9, 2010, the airport had 5,250 aircraft operations, an average of 14 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% military. At that time there were 18 aircraft based at this airport: 89% single-engine and 11% multi-engine.[1]
