Wharton Regional Airport (IATA: WHT, ICAO: KARM, FAA LID: ARM) is a public airport located five miles (8 km) southwest of the central business district of Wharton, a city in Wharton County, Texas, United States. It is owned by the City of Wharton.[1]

Many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA. However, this airport is assigned ARM by the FAA but has been assigned WHT from the IATA. [2] Note that ARM was assigned to Armidale Airport in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.[3] The airport's former FAA identifier was 5R5.[4]
