Beaufort Executive Airport (IATA: BFT, ICAO: KARW, FAA LID: ARW, formerly 73J) is a county-owned, public-use airport in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States.[1] The airport is located on Lady's Island,[2] 3 nautical miles (5.6 kilometres) southeast of the central business district of Beaufort, South Carolina.[1] It is also known as Frogmore Intranational Airport.[3]
This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[4]
