Orcas Island Airport (IATA: ESD, ICAO: KORS, FAA LID: ORS) is a public airport located one mile (2 km) north of the central business district of Eastsound on Orcas Island in San Juan County, Washington, United States.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Orcas Island Airport is assigned ORS by the FAA and ESD by the IATA (which assigned ORS to Orpheus Island Resort Waterport in Queensland, Australia). [2] [3]
