Alva Regional Airport is a city-owned, public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) south of the central business district of Alva, a city in Woods County, Oklahoma, United States. It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[3]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned AVK by the FAA, but has no designation from the IATA[4] (which assigned AVK to Arvaikheer Airport in Arvaikheer, Mongolia).[5]
