Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Airport (IATA: BDR, ICAO: KBDR, FAA LID: BDR) is a public airport in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States,[1] owned by the city of Bridgeport. It is three miles (6 km) southeast of downtown,[1] in the town of Stratford. It was formerly Bridgeport Municipal Airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2] It has three fixed-base operators (FBOs) and several private hangars.

In 2016 Tailwind Air Service started seaplane flights between Sikorsky and the New York Skyports Seaplane Base in central Manhattan.[3]
