Beech River Regional Airport (ICAO: KPVE, FAA LID: PVE) is a public-use airport in Henderson County, Tennessee, United States.[1][2] It is located five nautical miles (5.8 mi, 9.3 km) northwest of the central business district of Parsons,[1] a city in Decatur County.
The airport opened in 2006[3] and is owned by Beech River Regional Airport Authority,[1] representing the cities of Lexington and Parsons, the counties of Henderson and Decatur, and the state of Tennessee.[3] It is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[4]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned PVE by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[5] (which assigned PVE to El Porvenir, Panama[6]).
