Schuylkill County Airport (ICAO: KZER, FAA LID: ZER), also known as Schuylkill County/Joe Zerbey Airport, is a public-use airport located eight miles (13 km) west of the central business district of Pottsville, a city in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. This airport is publicly owned by Schuylkill County Airport Authority. It is mostly used for general aviation, but is served by one charter service.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Schuylkill County Airport is assigned ZER[1] by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned ZER to Zero Airport in Zero, Arunachal Pradesh, India[2]). The airport's ICAO identifier is KZER.[3][4]
