Chester Catawba Regional Airport (ICAO: KDCM, FAA LID: DCM, formerly 9A6) is a county-owned public-use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) north of the central business district of Chester, a city in Chester County, South Carolina, United States. The airport is technically a "regional" airport, but the airport does not have a scheduled air service; it is mainly for the use of private jets for residents of Chester County. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a general aviation facility.
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned DCM by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned DCM to Mazamet Airport in Castres, France).
