Atlanta Regional Airport[1] (ICAO: KFFC, FAA LID: FFC), also known as Falcon Field, is a public use airport in Fayette County, Georgia, United States.[2] It is located 25 nautical miles (29 mi, 46 km) southwest of the central business district of Atlanta,[2] in Peachtree City.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[4]

Owned by Peachtree City Airport Authority,[2] it was formerly known as Peachtree City Airport or Peachtree City - Falcon Field Airport. It is the location for the National Weather Service's Atlanta forecast office, which serves almost all of northern and central Georgia.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Falcon Field is assigned FFC by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[5]
