Airports
This list contains the following information:
- City served – The city generally associated with the airport, as per the airport's master record with the Federal Aviation Administration. This is not always the actual location since some airports are located in smaller towns outside of the city they serve. It is not meant to be a complete list of cities served, which can be found in or added to each airport's Wikipedia article.
- FAA – The location identifier assigned by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These are linked to each airport's page at the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission.
