Charleston Executive Airport {{airport codes||KJZI|JZI}} is a public use airport located in Charleston in Charleston County, South Carolina, United States. It is approximately six nautical miles (11 km) southwest of the central business district of the city. It is owned by the Charleston County Aviation Authority.[1] The airport serves the general aviation community, with no scheduled commercial airline service.

History

The airport opened in April 1943 named Johns Island Army Airfield. Initially it was an auxiliary to Columbia Army Air Base as an unmanned emergency landing airfield. On 31 March 1944, jurisdiction was transferred to Charleston Army Airfield when Charleston was reassigned to Air Transport Command. It served as an emergency landing base with no permanent structures being used for transatlantic flights. On 25 August 1945 the airfield was turned over to local authorities which converted it into a civil airport.[2][3] The occasional military aircraft still uses the airport.
