Anderson Regional Airport (IATA: ANDICAO: KAND) is a public airport located 3 miles (5 km) southwest of the city of Anderson, in Anderson County, South Carolina. Anderson Regional Airport has been growing since it opened. In 2007 one runway was paved an extra 1,000 ft. Anderson Regional Airport does not have any commercial destinations or concourses for gates and there is no control tower, but the airport now can handle more and larger regional jets and aircraft than before. It is one of the busiest airports in the upstate of South Carolina.
