Tappahannock-Essex County Airport (ICAO: KXSA, FAA LID: XSA) is a public-use airport located five miles (8 km) south of the central business district of Tappahannock, a town in Essex County, Virginia, United States. It is owned by the Tappahannock Essex County Airport Authority.[1]

Opened in 2007[2] and located near Route 360 at St. Paul's Crossroads, Tappahannock-Essex County Airport replaced the former Tappahannock Municipal Airport (FAA LID: W79)[3] which was located near the intersection of Route 17 & Airport Road.[4]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Tappahannock-Essex County Airport is assigned XSA by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[5]
