Slidell Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) northwest of the central business district of Slidell, a city in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, United States.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned ASD by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned ASD to Andros Town Airport on Andros Island in the Bahamas[3]).

The Louisiana Office of the National Weather Service is located here.
For the 12-month period ending April 15, 2008, the airport had 112,000 aircraft operations, an average of 306 per day: 96% general aviation, 4% military. At that time there were 86 aircraft based at this airport: 87% single-engine, 9% multi-engine, 2% helicopter and 1% jet.
