Dyersburg Regional Airport is two miles south of Dyersburg, in Dyer County, Tennessee, United States. It was formerly Dyersburg Municipal Airport.

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is DYR to the FAA and has no IATA code.[3] (IATA assigned DYR to Anadyr Airport in Anadyr, Russia.[4])

In 1957-59 it was served by Southeast Airlines DC-3s, and in 1961-63 by Southern Airlines DC-3s. (In 1962, 134 passengers boarded Southern's DC-3s.)

Facilities

The airport covers 275acres at an elevation of 338 feet (103 m). It has two asphalt runways: 4/22 is 5,698 by 98 feet (1,737 x 30 m) and 16/34 is 4,001 by 74 feet. The FAA has classified runway 4/22 to be in good condition, while the shorter 16/34 runway is listed in poor condition with major cracks in the asphalt.[5] Due to the condition of the runway, 16/34 has been indefinitely closed since October 2019. [6]

In the year ending May 8, 2019, the airport had 7,800 aircraft operations, average 21 per day: 97% general aviation, 1% air taxi and 2% military. 20 aircraft were then based at this airport: 16 single-engine, 3 multi-engine, and 1 jet.
