Potsdam Municipal Airport, also known as Damon Field, is a village owned, public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) east of Potsdam, a village in the Town of Potsdam, St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2019–2023, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned PTD by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned PTD to Port Alexander Seaplane Base in Port Alexander, Alaska).[4] [5]
