Schuylkill County Airport (ICAO: KZER, FAA LID: ZER), also known as Schuylkill County Joe Zerbey Airport, is a public use airport located eight nautical miles (9 mi, 15 km) west of the central business district of Pottsville, a city in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is owned by the Schuylkill County Airport Authority.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned ZER by the FAA[1] but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned ZER to Zero Airport in Zero, Arunachal Pradesh, India).[4] The airport's ICAO identifier is KZER.[5]
