University Airport (ICAO: KEDU, FAA LID: EDU, formerly 0O5) is a public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) west of the central business district of Davis, a city in Yolo County, California, United States. It is owned by the University of California[1] and operated by Transportation and Parking Services of the University of California, Davis. Of the ten campuses in the UC system, Davis is the only one with its own airport.

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned EDU by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[3]

The University Airport is home to the Cal Aggie Flying Farmers flight school, Davis Air Repair, and the UC Davis Antique Mechanics Club.
